Promoter methylation of the hMLH1 gene and protein expression of human mutL homolog 1 and human mutS homolog 2 in resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Aberrant expression of mismatch repair genes, such as human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) and human mutS homolog 2 (hMSH2), are common in some human cancers, and promoter methylation is believed to inactivate expression of hMLH1. We investigated whether promoter methylation is involved in loss of hMLH1 protein and whether aberrant expression of hMLH1 and ...

Mismatch Repair Protein Deficiency and Its Relationship with Clinicopathological Factors in Endometrial Cancer: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]
Background: The present study aimed to determine the frequency of mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression loss, as identified using immunohistochemistry (IHC), in tumor cells of endometrial cancer patients and the potential associations between this ...

Expression and prognostic significance of MLH1 and GPRC5C in resectable hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background It has recently been shown that mut-L homolog 1 (MLH1), frequently lost in cancer initiation and progression, inhibited pancreatic cancer metastatic potential by downregulating G-protein coupled receptor C5C (GPRC5C). However, their expression

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.

Successful Identification and Treatment of Cancer of Unknown Primary Originating From Gastric Cancer Using Comprehensive Genomic Profiling and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a challenging malignancy characterized by metastatic tumors with an unidentified primary site, even after extensive pathological and radiographic evaluation. Recent advancements in gene expression profiling and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using next‐generation sequencing (NGS) have ...
