Method for evaluating microsatellite instability associated with colon, gastric and/or endometrial tumors

摘要

A method for evaluating microsatellite instability associated with a tumor, which entails the steps of amplifying microsatellite loci in a biological sample containing genomic DNA from the tumor and determining sizes of DNA amplification products, wherein at least one microsatellite locus selected from the group consisting of NR 21, NR 22, NR 24 and NR 27, is amplified.
