Abstract Many factors have been implicated in influencing the rate of microsatellite mutations, including the length and base composition of the repeat motif, number of repeats, base composition of flanking sequences and, perhaps most importantly, degree of perfection of the repeats. The latter is of clinical relevance, since in both spino-cerebellar ataxia and fragile X syndrome, alleles with imperfect...
Human tumors exhibit two fundamentally important characteristics, extensive genetic alteration and clonality. Although it is still unclear to what extent tumors have an elevated mutational burden as compared with normal tissue, their clonality results in their ready detection. Thus, assaying tissues for clonal alterations at frequently mutated microsatellitelocirepresents a viable approach to cancer...
