Microsatellite Instability Assay Validated for Cancer Studies
Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when mismatch repair proteins (MMR) fail to fix a DNA replication error, leading to frame-shift mutations in a person's genetic code and non-functioning proteins. MSI has acted as a strong marker for genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome that can lead to a variety of cancers. More...20 Nov 2018
