ABSTRACT

As part of the Saccharomyces Genome Deletion Project, sets of presumably isogenic haploid and diploid strains that differed only by single gene deletions were constructed. We found that one set of 96 strains (containing deletions of ORFs located between YOR097C and YOR192C) in the collection, which was derived from the haploid BY4741, has an additional mutation in the MSH3 mismatch repair gene.

Microsatellite instability in colorectal carcinoma: The comparison of immunohistochemistry and molecular biology suggests role for hMLH6 immunostaining
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine ; * Context.-Microsatellite instability (MSI) due to defective mismatch repair (MMR) genes has been reported in the majority of colorectal tumors from patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome and in 10% to 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers. The identification of cancers

Warthin Tumors Do Not Have Microsatellite Instability and Express Normal DNA Mismatch Repair Proteins
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine ; Context.-Warthin tumors are controversial entities with a poorly understood etiology. Although some investigators have suggested a neoplastic origin, others have supported a developmental anomaly. A recent study described the absence of staining for hMLH1 and hMSH2 proteins in the epithelial
Detection of microsatellite instability from archival, hematoxylin-Eosin-stained colorectal cancerctal cancer specimen
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine ; * Microsatellite instability (MSI) is characteristic of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Owing to early onset of colorectal cancer before the age of 50 years and/or familial clustering of HNPCC-related malignancies, the diagnosis of HNPCC was suspected in 2 patients. Because no
Testing for Defective DNA Mismatch Repair in Colorectal Carcinoma: A Practical Guide
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine ; Context.-Significant bench and clinical data have been generated during the last decade regarding DNA mismatch repair in colorectal carcinoma. Objectives.-To review clinically relevant aspects of defective DNA mismatch repair in colorectal carcinoma and to suggest testing algorithms for

Clinicopathologic Characteristics, CpG Island Methylator Phenotype, and BRAF Mutations in Microsatellite-Stable Colorectal Cancers Without Chromosomal Instability
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine ; * Context.-The 2 chief pathways implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis, microsatellite instability and chromosomal instability, are not present in 20% to 37% of cases. Objective.-To determine whether the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) pathway, characterized by simultaneous methylation of
