To determine the frequency of short tandem repeat instability in adenocarcinoma of the prostate, we studied 40 tumors that were stratified according to tumor grade. The tissue samples were screened with di-, tri- and tetranucleotide markers spanning a wide range of chromosomal loci, including an androgen receptor gene trinucleotide repeat. Microsatellite instability was observed overall in only one of the 40 (2.5%) prostate adenocarcinomas studied. This replication error-positive tumor demonstrated repeat length alterations at two loci. 1, record 2, English, - microsatellite

L’avènement de la méthode d’amplification par PCR [réaction en chaîne de la polymérase] a permis d’accéder en 1989 à une deuxième catégorie de polymorphisme de répétition, où le motif de base répété en tandem est plus court (1 à 5 nucléotides) : ce sont des microsatellites ou STR [séquences répétées en tandem]. 1, record 2, French, - microsatellite
