Method for evaluating microsatellite instability in a tumor sample

摘要

A detection method for high throughput screening for tumor microsatellite instability. The method employs a panel of microsatellite loci and it is based on a fluorescent multiplex PCR system. The method provides a fast, sensitive, and cost-effective high throughput screening method of MSI detection. The method allows many samples to be processed in one day on a single polyacrylamide gel, and it utilizes much less nucleic acid sample than conventional methods.
