Microsatellite Instability in Saliva from Patients with Hereditary Non-polyposis Colon Cancer and Siblings Carrying Germline Mismatch Repair Gene Mutations

"Saliva testing, a less-invasive procedure than PBL ( peripheral blood lymphocytes) testing, is more sensitive and appears to be a viable alternative for identifying MSI in carriers with MMR mutations."
