AIMS: Although frameshift variants in the microsatellite area of shugoshin 1 ( SGO1 ) have been reported in the context of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/deficient mismatch repair gastrointestinal cancer, most have been evaluated only in early stage I-III patients, and only two of its five microsatellite regions have been evaluated. Therefore, we investigated the frequency and MSI status of microsatellite frameshift variants in gastric cancer cases, including stage IV. METHODS: In a total of 55 cases, 30 gastric cancer resection and 25 non-resection cases, DNA was extracted from both tumour and normal parts and PCR was performed...
