BRAF V600E‐specific immunohistochemistry for the exclusion of Lynch syndrome in MSI‐H colorectal cancer
30 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
The differentiation between hereditary and sporadic microsatellite-unstable (MSI-H) colorectal cancer is a crucial step in Lynch syndrome diagnostics. Within MSI-H colorectal cancers, the BRAF V600E mutation is strongly associated with sporadic origin. Here, we asked whether BRAF V600E-specific immunohistochemistry (clone VE1) is helpful in separating sporadic from Lynch syndrome-associated MSI-H colorectal...
