Deficient Mismatch Repair and Microsatellite Instability in Solid Tumors
6 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
The integrity of the genome is maintained by mismatch repair (MMR) proteins that recognize and repair base mismatches and insertion/deletion errors generated during DNA replication and recombination. A defective MMR system results in genome-wide instability and the progressive accumulation of mutations. Tumors exhibiting deficient MMR (dMMR) and/or high levels of microsatellite instability (termed "microsatellite...
