The MMR system has been suggested to influence prostate carcinogenesis e.g. through an increased risk of prostate cancer linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms in MLH1 and MSH3, and a role for complex structural rearrangements in MSH2 and MSH6 as a mechanism underlying the hypermutation in aggressive prostate cancer [14–20]. Here, MSH2 is linked to prostate carcinoma.
