Microsatellite Instability Analysis
The MSI Analysis System, Version 1.2 is a fluorescent multiplex PCR-based method for detection of microsatellite instability (MSI), due to either insertion or deletion of repeating units during DNA replication, and failure of the mismatch repair system to correct these errors. MSI analysis involves comparison of allelic profiles of microsatellite markers generated by amplification from matching tumor and normal samples. New alleles in the tumor sample not found in the corresponding normal sample indicate the presence of MSI.

Provides a standardized screening panel amplifying only informative nonpolymorphic sequence tag sites (STS) on the human Y chromosome. The system amplifies key functional regions associated with AZoospermia Factor (AZF), namely the regions that flank AZFa and cover AZFb, AZFc, AZFd including DAZ, KAL-Y, SMCY and flanking loci for other key spermatogenesis-related genes (namely RBM1, DFFRY and DBY).
