Description Intrinsic genomic instability of an incipient tumor cell drives the development of cancer. In colorectal cancer, an
inverse relationship between microsatellite instability (MIN) and chromosomal instability (CIN) has been reported. The relationship between MIN and CIN in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is uncertain. In the present
study, we examined these two types of instabilities in HNSCC using microsatellite markers and arbitrary primed PCR
(APPCR) technique. HNSCC tumors showed high frequency of MIN and loss of heterozygosity (LOH). We observed
that, in contrast to colorectal tumors, the frequency of LOH increased with the increase in MIN. There was no
significant difference between MIN� and MINþ groups of HNSCC tumors in the extent of overall genomic alterations;
rather higher MINþ tumors exhibited higher incidence of deletion. Thus, in sporadic HNSCC, both MIN and CIN
pathways operate simultaneously to drive tumor formation. � 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
