Genetic changes of MLH1 and MSH2 genes could explain constant findings on microsatellite instability in intracranial meningioma [PDF]
Postreplicative mismatch repair safeguards the stability of our genome. The defects in its functioning will give rise to microsatellite instability. In this study, 50 meningiomas were investigated for microsatellite instability. Two major mismatch repair

Simple Mathematical Model Of Pathologic Microsatellite Expansions: When Self-Reparation Does Not Work [PDF]
We propose a simple model of pathologic microsatellite expansion, and describe an inherent self-repairing mechanism working against expansion. We prove that if the probabilities of elementary expansions and contractions are equal, microsatellite expansions are always self-repairing.

COLORECTAL CANCER: HISTOPATHOLOGICAL PROFILE AND PREVALENCE OF DNA REPAIR SYSTEM DEFICIENCY IN PATIENTS SUBMITTED TO SURGICAL TREATMENT IN A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Part of colorectal cancer cases occurs due to modifications in the DNA mismatch repair system, which are responsible for microsatellite instability. This alteration results in an unconventional phenotypic pattern of colorectal cancer.

Genetic Features of Metachronous Esophageal Cancer Developed in Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Breast Cancer Long-Term Survivors: An Exploratory Study. [PDF]
Background Development of novel therapeutic drugs and regimens for cancer treatment has led to improvements in patient long-term survival. This success has, however, been accompanied by the increased occurrence of second primary cancers.

Clinical and morphological portrait of tumors with microsatellite instability
Background. Microsatellites are short tandem nucleotide repeats, the change in length of which plays a key roles in the pathogenesis of various malignant neoplasms. This change is called microsatellite instability.

PURPOSE Genomes of tumors that are deficient in DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) have high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and harbor hundreds to thousands of somatic mutations that encode potential neoantigens.
