Abstract
Microsatellite instability (MSI) was examined at 36 loci, and found in 9 (43%) of the 21 prostatic cancers. A loss of heterozygosity had occurred in five cases (24%). MSI did not correlate with clinical stage, but might play a role in the development of a subset of prostate cancers.Keywords
