Abstract
A method for determining if a tumor has a mutation in a microsatellite is provided. In some embodiments, the method may comprise: (a) isolating genomic DNA from a tumor sample and a non-tumor sample from the same patient to produce: i. a sample of tumor DNA and ii. a sample of non-tumor DNA, respectively, (b) without pre-amplifying the tumor or non-tumor DNA, sequencing a plurality of microsatellite loci from both the tumor and non-tumor DNA using OS-seq to provide sequence reads, wherein the sequenced microsatellite loci comprise mononucleotide, dinucleotide, trinucleotide and tetranucleotide microsatellites loci, and (c) comparing the results.
