Causes of DNA mismatch repair deficiency in sebaceous skin lesions demonstrating loss of MLH1 protein expression: constitutional over somatic MLH1 promoter methylation
10 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Approximately 30% of sebaceous skin lesions (or sebaceous neoplasia) demonstrate DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-deficiency. MMR-deficiency can be caused by Lynch syndrome, resulting from germline pathogenic variants in the DNA MMR genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, but other causes include somatic MLH1 gene promoter hypermethylation, constitutional MLH1 gene promoter hypermethylation (MLH1 epimutation), or biallelic...
