Microsatellite Instability (MSI) near me in Bangalore
The Microsatellite Instability (MSI) detects genetic changes in specific repetitive DNA sequences within tumor cells. These changes occur when the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system fails to work properly. The test helps identify conditions such as Lynch syndrome (Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer) and guides treatment decisions. This molecular diagnostic test evaluates the stability of microsatellites to assess MMR function. Defects in MMR genes cause errors to accumulate in DNA, which is commonly associated with Lynch syndrome (Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer, HNPCC), the most frequent inherited cause of colorectal cancer. MSI is also linked to an increased risk of other cancers, including endometrial, gastric, ovarian, and urinary tract cancers. This panel is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Bangalore.
