摘要：
Background: Microsatellites are short repetitive nucleotide sequences that, through mutation, can undergo either expansion or contraction. This novel mutational mechanism known as microsatellite instability may play a role in carcinogenesis. We investigated the incidence of microsatellite instability in a series of primary breast carcinoma surgical specimens.
