Abstract

The article reports on a study comparing the frequency of microsatellite instability (MSI) and hypermethylation of MLH1 promoter in a large number of patients of familial gastric cancer and sporadic cases. The immunoexpression of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins in a fraction of cases were also analyzed in the study. The study verified that the frequency of MSI was similar in familial and sporadic gastric cancer settings.
