Mismatch Repair Proteins Expression and Microsatellite Instability in Skin Lesions With Sebaceous Differentiation: A Study in Different Clinical Subgroups With and Without Extracutaneous Cancer
American Journal of Dermatopathology, 09/11/07

Cesinaro, A.M., et al. - Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) is defined as the association of a sebaceous tumor or keratoacanthoma and an extracutaneous neoplasm, mainly from the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts. MTS is related to hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), a syndrome with germline mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) gene(s), leading to microsatellite instability (MSI). In this study, using immunohistochemistry and a microsatellite instability assay, we analyzed the incidence of MMR gene abnormalities in 79 sebaceous lesions from 70 patients
