摘要: Objective To investigate whether there is widespread microsatellite instability (MSI) in families with hereditary prostate cancer (HPC). Patients and methods Eighty-four tumours from 80 Swedish men 35 HPC were screened for genetic at marker loci BAT-25, BAT-26, BAT-34C4, D2S123 D17S250. Results MSI was detected only five individuals different families. Three (4%) unstable more than two hence classified as high-frequency (MSI-H) according to a previous definition. Interestingly, of the MSI-H patients both familial colon cancer. Conclusions Widespread rare event cancer, indicating that defective DNA mismatch repair not an important element genesis HPC.
