Immunohistochemistry for MSH2 and MHL1: a method for identifying mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
Colorectal cancers with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene mutations characteristically display a high rate of replication errors in simple repetitive sequences detectable as microsatellite instability (MSI). Most are the result of somatic MMR dysfunction; however, a subset are caused by germline mutations. The availability of commercial antibodies for MSH2 and MLH1 [corrected] offers an alternative strategy to...
