The efficacy of DNA mismatch repair enzyme immunohistochemistry as a screening test for hypermutated gliomas
12 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
A subset of gliomas has DNA repair defects that lead to hypermutated genomes. While such tumors are resistant to alkylating chemotherapies, they may also express more mutant neoantigens on their cell surfaces, and thus be more responsive to immunotherapies. A fast, inexpensive method of screening for hypermutated gliomas would therefore be of great clinical value. Since immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the DNA...
