Polymorphic variation of mononucleotide microsatellites in healthy humans and its implication for microsatellite instability screening Variação polimórfica de microssatélites mononucleotídicos em indivíduos normais e sua implicação no rastreamento de instabilidade de microssatélites
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is the sixth most common tumor and the fifth in mortality in Brazil. Molecular markers have been associated with disease prognosis, especially in relation to therapeutic response and overall survival rates.
