Frameshift mutations at coding mononucleotide repeats of the hRAD50 gene in gastrointestinal carcinomas with microsatellite instability.
Microsatellite instability (MSI) and frameshift mutations in genes containing nucleotide repeats have been reported in a subset of colorectal and gastric carcinomas. This study describes the analysis of MSI-positive colorectal (39 cases) and gastric carcinomas (36 cases) for the presence of frameshift mutations of the six genes known to be involved in DNA repair and containing mononucleotide re...

Abstract Background: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer is the most common cause of early onset of hereditary colorectal cancer. In the majority of Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer families, microsatellite instability and germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes in clouding MSH2, MLH1, MSH6 and PMS2 are found. The Objective of this study was to determine th...
متن کاملClose correlation between mutations of E2F4 and hMSH3 genes in colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability.
Defects in mismatch repair function can lead to the microsatellite instability (MI+; replication error) phenotype in certain human cancers. We previously reported that MI+ tumor-specific repeat number alteration at 13 consecutive trinucleotide (CAG) repeats within a coding exon of the E2F4 gene is a possible target of the defective repair pathway. Additional investigations revealed that E2F4 mu...
متن کاملFrequent frameshift mutations of the TCF-4 gene in colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability.
About 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers show microsatellite instability (MSI) due to the inactivation of mismatch repair genes and are termed MSI-H tumors. In these tumors, frameshift mutations in coding repeats have been found within the TGFbeta-RII, BAX, and IGFRII genes that are probably involved in their progression. In the present work, we report frequent mutations in TCF-4, another targe...
متن کاملFrequent frameshift mutations of RIZ in sporadic gastrointestinal and endometrial carcinomas with microsatellite instability.
Many lines of evidence suggest that the retinoblastoma protein interacting zinc finger gene RIZ is a strong candidate for the tumor suppressor locus on 1p36, a region commonly deleted in many human cancers with chromosomal instability. In addition, a role for RIZ in tumors of the microsatellite instability pathway is suggested by frequent frameshift mutations in hereditary non-polyposis colorec...
