Prevalence of DNA Mismatch Repair Deficiencies in Multiple Solid Tumor Types in China. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim Microsatellite instability (MSI) as a result of deficient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair (dMMR) is a key contributor to the development of tumors with a high mutation rate and cancer‐specific neoantigens. dMMR identification can be beneficial for selection of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy‐eligible patients.

Exome Sequencing Identifies Variants in MLH1 and ERBB2 as Potential Cancer-Predisposing Factors in Familial Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) has raised considerable health concerns worldwide, with increasing incidence rates, specifically among younger populations. Despite remarkable progress in diagnosing and treating various diseases, the genetic basis of CRC remains only partially understood.

Human RECQL5{beta} stimulates flap endonuclease 1 [PDF]
Human RECQL5 is a member of the RecQ helicase family which is implicated in genome maintenance. Five human members of the family have been identified; three of them, BLM, WRN and RECQL4 are associated with elevated cancer risk. RECQL1 and RECQL5 have not

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 ...
