The diagnosis of HNPCC is based on a set of clinical criteria that may be too restrictive to identify all affected patients. Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) for the mismatch repair proteins, MutS homologue 2 (MSH2) and MutL homologue 1 (MLH1), reliably identifies the microsatellite instability phenotype. This study evaluated the ability of IHC to detect germline mutations in an unselected group of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>All patients with CRC operated on between July 2000 and March 2003, and demonstrating a loss of protein, were contacted.

Loss of expression of MLH1 was found in 20 patients, and loss of expression of MSH2 in ten patients. Four of the MLH1-deficient patients had a germline MLH1 point mutation (positive predictive value (PPV) 20 (95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 2 to 38 per cent) and 11 had promoter methylation. Seven of the MSH2-deficient patients had a germline MSH2 point mutation (PPV 70 (95 per cent c.i. 54 to 96 per cent), and none showed promoter methylation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>MLH1-deficient patients who are young or have a positive family history of cancer should be referred for genetic testing and counselling, whereas MSH2-deficient patients should be counselled in the same way as patients with HNPCC.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.5704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,17]],"date-time":"2007-04-17T17:47:09Z","timestamp":1176832029000},"page":"1020-1027","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Immunohistochemical staining for mismatch repair proteins, and its relevance in the diagnosis of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"J","family":"Ewald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"},{"name":"INSERM U673, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C M","family":"Rodrigue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U673, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N","family":"Mourra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J H","family":"Lef\u00e8vre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"},{"name":"INSERM U673, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J-F","family":"Fl\u00e9jou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Tiret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Gespach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INSERM U673, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Y R","family":"Parc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Digestive Surgery, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"},{"name":"INSERM U673, H\u00f4pital Saint-Antoine (AP\/HP), Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070907301448100_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"816","DOI":"10.1126\/science.8484122","article-title":"Micosatellite instability in cancer of the proximal colon","volume":"260","author":"Thibodeau","year":"1993","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2021070907301448100_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.45.3.409","article-title":"Choice of management strategy for colorectal cancer based on a diagnostic immunohistochemical test for defective mismatch repair","volume":"45","author":"Cawkwell","year":"1999","journal-title":"Gut"},{"key":"2021070907301448100_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"741","DOI":"10.1097\/01.MP.0000018979.68686.B2","article-title":"Immunohistochemical pattern of MLH1\/MSH2 expression is related to clinical and pathological features in colorectal adenocarcinomas with microsatellite instability","volume":"15","author":"Lanza","year":"2002","journal-title":"Mod Pathol"},{"key":"2021070907301448100_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"694","DOI":"10.5858\/2003-127-694-MIICC","article-title":"Microsatellite instability in colorectal carcinoma.
