Incidence and molecular characteristics of deficient mismatch repair conditions across nine different tumors and identification of germline variants involved in Lynch-like syndrome

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Based on molecular characteristics, deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) solid tumors are largely divided into three categories: somatically MLH1-hypermethylated tumors, Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated tumors, and Lynch-like syndrome (LLS)-associated tumors. The incidence of each of these conditions and the corresponding pathogenic genes related to LLS remain elusive. METHODS: We identified dMMR tumors...
