ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method for the determination of the genomic instability at 5 selected microsatellite loci. The analysis of these selected loci is suitable for making prognostic tumour diagnoses, for analysing hereditary tumor predisposition as well as for early tumor detection. This method is of particular importance for the diagnosis of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract such as colorectal tumors.
