Mismatch repair (MMR) protein-deficient non-neoplastic colonic crypts and endometrial glands (dMMR crypts and glands) have been reported as a unique marker of underlying Lynch syndrome (LS). However, no large studies have directly compared the frequency of detection in cases with double somatic (DS) MMR mutations. We retrospectively analyzed 42 colonic resection specimens (24 LS and 18 DS) and 20 endometrial...
