Somatic frameshift mutations in the Bloom syndrome <it>BLM</it> gene are frequent in sporadic gastric carcinomas with microsatellite mutator phenotype

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genomic instability has been reported at microsatellite tracts in few coding sequences. We have shown that the Bloom syndrome <it>BLM</it> gene may be a target of microsatelliteinstability (MSI) in a short poly-adenine re...
