Genetic changes of MLH1 and MSH2 genes could explain constant findings on microsatellite instability in intracranial meningioma [PDF]
, 2017 Postreplicative mismatch repair safeguards the stability of our genome. The defects in its functioning will give rise to microsatellite instability. In this study, 50 meningiomas were investigated for microsatellite instability. Two major mismatch repair
