Background Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by germline mutations in mismatch repair genes. Analysis for microsatellite instability (MSI) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of protein expressions of disease-associated genes is

Tissue-specific reduction in MLH1 expression induces microsatellite instability in intestine of Mlh1+/- mice [PDF]
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.

A Lynch Syndrome Family With Germline <i>MLH1</i> c.931A>G Showing Preserved Tumor MMR Immunostaining but MSI-H Status: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Lynch syndrome screening may be complicated by discordant tumor testing results. We report a family carrying the germline MLH1 c.931A>G (p.Lys311Glu) variant in which both the proband and his father had colorectal tumors with retained mismatch repair protein expression by immunohistochemistry but microsatellite instability‐high status on tumor

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.

Mlh2 is an accessory factor for DNA mismatch repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the essential mismatch repair (MMR) endonuclease Mlh1-Pms1 forms foci promoted by Msh2-Msh6 or Msh2-Msh3 in response to mispaired bases. Here we analyzed the Mlh1-Mlh2 complex, whose role in MMR has been unclear.

Combined MLH1/MSH2/MSH6 assessment by IHC and RT-qPCR: Differential expression analysis and incremental value for pathological risk stratification in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Background: Mismatch repair (MMR) status is routinely assessed in colorectal cancer (CRC), yet the laboratory value of combining multiple MMR targets across platforms for risk stratification requires verification under real-world testing conditions. This
