Molecular Diagnostic and Clinical Perspectives on Microsatellite Instability Testing for Cancer
Continuing Education is no longer available for this webinar.
This webinar is a recorded presentation of a live broadcast and includes a pre-test, the presentation, , audience Q&A, handout, and a post-test. Continuing Education is available for the webinar.
Description:
Microsatellite instability is a genetic pattern observed in cancer that is a surrogate for mismatch repair deficiency. Mismatch repair deficiency can be inherited germline (Lynch syndrome) or somatically acquired in cancer. These have important clinical implications for prevention, screening, and therapeutic treatment of patients who have MSIH+ cancers. This seminar will discuss mismatch repair deficiency, sequencing approaches to assess microsatellite instability, and the clinical significance of finding MSIH status in patients.
Learning Objectives:
- Apply the biological principles that underlie the pathogenicity of microsatellite instability.
- Explain the emergence of next generation sequencing approaches for the molecular diagnostic testing of microsatellite instability.
- Identify the clinical significance
of microsatellite instability.
