Microsatellites and CRC Lynch Syndrome: 20% Sporadic: 80%
Lynch syndrome Patient < 50 yo with a CRC Genetic counselling Surgery MSI analysis Therapy IHC for MMR proteins Germline mutations of MMR genes
MMR: hereditary vs sporadic CRC 2nd mutational hit Hereditary ~ 20% Normal mucosa -> Adenoma -> Adenocarcinoma Heterozygous MMR gene mutation Sporadic ~ 80% MLH1 silencing Normal mucosa -> Serrated Adenoma -> Serrated adenocarcinoma
MSI and prognosis in CRC 13 studies in the literature In 11 studies there is a significant correlation between better prognosis and MSI (with respect to MSI-L/MSS)
