Abstract Background The increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with family history of both colorectal in situ or invasive carcinomas (Stage 0 to IV) and colorectal polyps is attributed solely to family history of CRC, resulting in an underestimation of the actual risk. We aimed to assess the association between overall and early‐onset CRC

N‐terminus of hMLH1 confers interaction of hMutLα and hMutLβ with hMutSα [PDF]
Mismatch repair is a highly conserved system that ensures replication fidelity by repairing mispairs after DNA synthesis. In humans, the two protein heterodimers hMutSα (hMSH2‐hMSH6) and hMutLα (hMLH1‐hPMS2) constitute the centre of the repair reaction ...

ABSTRACT Do not rely solely on negative endoscopic biopsies when diagnosing upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Repeat ureteroscopy with biopsy if initial results are negative to reduce false negatives. Frozen section analysis (FSA) can provide rapid intraoperative confirmation and guide treatment decisions.

A rare case of colonic adenocarcinoma in a pediatric patient
Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a loss of function in the deoxyribonucleic acid mismatch repair system. This case report presents a 17‐year‐old male with abdominal pain, weight loss, and anemia who was diagnosed with LS‐associated adenocarcinoma of the colon in the setting of a mutS homolog 6 genetic mutation ...

Selection of patients with germline MLH1 mutated Lynch syndrome by determination of MLH1 methylation and BRAF mutation [PDF]
Lynch syndrome is one of the most common hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndrome and is caused by germline mutations of MLH1, MSH2 and more rarely MSH6, PMS2, MLH3 genes.

MT1XT20 single quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide marker for detection of microsatellite instability in iranian patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) [PDF]
Background: Colorectal malignancies with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H), either hereditary or sporadic, demonstrate better prognosis, altered response to fluorouracil (5FU) chemotherapy and altered operative approach.
