MRC1 and neoplasm: MSI analysis and MMR protein immunohistochemistry (IHC) have an important role in diagnosis: two studies reported high concordance between MSI and IHC analysis both in colorectal cancer (CRC) and EC, with discordance in the rare MMR-proficient/MSI-high cases (<1%) in EC patients, probably due to POLE-EDM variants (6, 7), while Ryan et al. reported how IHC outperforms MSI for tumor triage and is a reliable method for identifying both germline and somatic MMR mutations in women with EC (8).
