Background In colorectal cancer MLH1 deficiency causes microsatellite instability, which is relevant for the patient’s prognosis and treatment, and its putative heredity. Dysfunction of MLH1 is caused by sporadic gene promoter hypermethylation or by hereditary mutations as seen in Lynch Syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine in detail how DNA methylation regulates MLH1 expression and impacts...
Lynch syndrome is associated with deficiency of the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2. However, most MLH1 deficient tumours are sporadic in origin, and they can be identified if harbouring a BRAF V600E mutation or hypermethylation of the MLH1 gene promoter.The aim of this study was to validate our previously suggested clinically applicable strategy based on molecular characteristics for...
