## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Microsatellite instability (MSI) has been reported in endometrial carcinoma (EC) and in colorectal carcinoma (CRC), primarily as a result of defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The MMR gene __hMLH1__ commonly is inactivated in both EC and CRC. In the current study, epige

## Abstract Activating mutations of __BRAF__ have been frequently observed in microsatellite unstable (MSI^+^) colorectal carcinomas (CRCs), in which mutations of __BRAF__ and __KRAS__ are mutually exclusive. Previously, we reported that hypermethylation of __hMLH1__ might play an important role in
## Abstract Biallelic germ‐line variants of the 8‐hydroxyguanine repair gene __MYH__ have been associated with multiple colorectal adenomas that display somatic G:C→T:A transversions in __APC__. However, the effect of single germ‐line variants has not been widely studied. To examine the relationshi
