- Hypermutation There is a hypermutation type (Hypermutation or Hypermutated) as one of the gene mutation patterns of cancer. Hypermutated cancers are distinguished by a higher somatic mutation rate compared to other types. Further, it is known that there are cancers that exhibit high-frequency mutation characteristics such as gastric cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, glioblastoma, and uterine cancer (Non-patent Document 1).
- High-frequency mutant cancers often have the property of microsatellite instability indicating a deficiency or incompleteness of the mismatch repair mechanism during DNA replication. This is thought to be due to the fact that the genes of the mismatch repair enzymes MLH1, MLH3, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, and PMS2 have been mutated or the expression of the MLH1 gene is suppressed by methylation.
- Non-patent Document 2 DNA polymerase ⁇ has 3 ′ ⁇ 5 ′ exonuclease activity as an error correction mechanism in addition to the activity of synthesizing DNA in the 5 ′ ⁇ 3 ′ direction, and an incorrect base is added to the DNA strand. Then, the base is removed by the 3 ′ ⁇ 5 ′ exonuclease activity, and then DNA synthesis is resumed.
