摘要
Simple sequence repeats (microsatellites) are found in all eukaryotic genomes. Instabilities within these sequences have been associated with several human disorders including Huntington's chorea and myotonic dystrophy. Further studies have identified links between microsatellite instability, faulty mismatch repair and certain human cancers, in particular a form of hereditary colorectal cancer. The assay system described here consists of a congenic set of yeast strains mutated in DNA replication and mismatch repair genes and assay plasmids with which it is possible to measure differences in microsatellite stability in the range of 5-850-fold. The development of this technology will allow monitoring of environmental and dietary influences on the genomic stability in the context of human disease. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
