  • Primers for amplifying mononucleotide satellite markers
    Patent number: 7951564
    Abstract: A method for evaluating microsatellite instability associated with a tumour, which entails the steps of amplifying microsatellite loci in a biological sample containing genomic DNA from the tumour 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2011
    Assignee: Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche
    Inventors: Richard Hamelin, Nirosha Suraweera
