Abstract
Introduction: While microsatellite instability is associated with prognosis and distinct clinical phenotypes in colon cancer, the basis for this remains incompletely defined. Novel bioinformatic techniques enable a detailed interrogation of the relationship between gene expression profiles and tumor characteristics. Aim: We aimed to determine if microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) and microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors could be differentiated by gene expression profiles. We investigated the basis of this using a system and network based algorithmic approach. Methods: Microsatellite status was established using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panel and fragment length analysis. Gene expression was determined using Illumina
