Morphological predictors for microsatellite instability in urothelial carcinoma

Abstract Introduction Microsatellite instability occurs due to a series of mutations in the DNA pairing error repair (Mismatch repair; MMR) genes, which can affect germ cells as occurs in Lynch syndrome, whose patients are at high risk of developing multiple cancers. The loss of MMR protein is commo...
