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.

Isolated MLH1 Loss by Immunohistochemistry Because of Benign Germline MLH1 Polymorphisms
PURPOSE Mismatch repair (MMR) immunohistochemistry (IHC) is frequently used to inform prognosis, select (immuno-)therapy, and identify patients for heritable cancer syndrome testing. However, false-negative and false-positive MMR IHC interpretations have been described.

Benefits and costs of meiotic recombination are a matter of discussion. Because recombination breaks allele combinations already tested by natural selection and generates new ones of unpredictable fitness, a high recombination rate is generally ...

DNA testing is recommended in families fulfilling at least "suspected HNPCC" criteria. After exclusion of FAP (characteristic FAP features include polyposis, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, cysts and osteomata of bones of the maxilla and mandible, desmoid tumours), immunohistochemical analyses (IHC) of MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 ...

The Hepatica section Angulosa consists of mainly tetraploid (2n = 28) species that are distributed disjunctly throughout Eurasia. Karyological evidence proves the hybrid origin of the polyploid species of this section. Hepatica transsilvanica is a member

Micronucleus-specific histone H1 is required for micronuclear chromosome integrity in Tetrahymena thermophila. [PDF]
Histone H1 molecules play a key role in establishing and maintaining higher order chromatin structures. They can bind to linker DNA entering and exiting the nucleosome and regulate transcriptional activity.

Tumors of Lynch syndrome (LS) patients display high levels of microsatellite instability (MSI), which results from complete loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR), in line with Knudson's two-hit hypothesis. Why some organs, in particular those of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, are prone to tumorigenesis in LS remains unknown.

High-resolution mapping of heteroduplex DNA formed during UV-induced and spontaneous mitotic recombination events in yeast. [PDF]
In yeast, DNA breaks are usually repaired by homologous recombination (HR). An early step for HR pathways is formation of a heteroduplex, in which a single-strand from the broken DNA molecule pairs with a strand derived from an intact DNA molecule.
