DNA mismatch repair genes and colorectal cancer.
Positional cloning and linkage analysis have shown that inactivation of one of the mismatch repair genes (hMLH1, hMSH2, hPMS1, hPMS2, GTBP/hMSH6) is responsible for the microsatellite instability or replication error (RER+) seen in more than 90% of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers (HNPCC)...
