Abstract excerpt
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an essential physiological process for correcting mutations occurring during DNA replication. Deficient MMR (dMMR) leads to increased tumour mutational burden, with a heightened risk of neoplasia. Demonstration of dMMR via the immunohistochemical assessment of MMR proteins is useful when screening for inherited cancer syndromes (especially Lynch syndrome) and for the prediction of...
