  • Method of Detection of Alterations in MSH5
    Publication number: 20080199876
    Abstract: We have now discovered that mammals have a DNA gene analogous to that existing in bacteria. MSH5 defects or alterations in this mismatch repair pathway in a mammal, such as a human can be diagnostic of a predisposition to cancer, and prognostic for a particular cancer. We have discovered and sequenced MSH5 in this in a number of mammals, including humans. This gene can be used in assays, to express gene product, for drug screens, and therapeutically.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 14, 2008
    Publication date: August 21, 2008
    Applicant: DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE, INC.
