Allele loss occurs frequently at hMLH1, but rarely at hMSH2, in sporadic colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability.
Mutations at the hMSH2 and hMLH1 mismatch repair loci have been implicated in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. Tumours with two allelic mutations at a mismatch repair locus develop replication errors (RERs). In the hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome, one mutation is in...
