Abstract
The predictive value of MLH1 or MSH2 protein expression for the presence of truncating germline mutations was examined in benign and (pre)malignant endometrial samples from 3 patient groups: (1) 10 endometrial cancer patients from hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) families with (n = 6) or without (n = 4) a known germline mutation; (11) 15 women from HNPCC families with (n = 7) or without (n = 8) a known germline mutation, who underwent endometrial sampling for non-malignant reasons; (III) 38 endometrial cancer patients 2001 Wiley-Liss.
