Replication error (RER+) phenotype occurs in both hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps of the stomach. The highest frequency is observed in adenomatous polyps with carcinomatous foci, suggesting that MSI may play a role in the process of malignant transformation in this setting. No significant association was observed between RER+ phenotype and overexpression of p53 or ERBB-2 proteins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
