چکیده
background: germline mutations in mmr genes are reported to be present in more than 70% of hnpcc cases. but, there is a paucity of data regarding the importance of defect of mmr system in the gastric cancer in general. so, in this study, we used ihc stain formlh1,msh2, pms2 andmsh6 to reveal profile ofmmr expression in patients with gastric cancer. materials and methods: this study was performed on 134 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone surgical resection from january 2001 to december 2005. for comparative analyses chi-square test or fisher's exact test and t-test were used. results: through ihc assay, all of samples from patients had normal stain for msh2 and msh6. except in 5 cases (3.7%) ihc stains for mlh1 and in 4 cases (3%) ihc stains for pms2 were normal. in comparative analyses there were not any significant difference in variables between subgroups of ihc result. conclusion: although, genetic factors are cause of gastric cancer in few patients, and germline mutation may increase the risk of gastric cancer. in this study 3.7% of cases with gastric cancer had abnormalmmr proteins function. it seems that mlh1 and pms2 have a major role in mmr functions in iranian patients with gastric cancer, to further clarify this issue, more resrarchers should be done.

Immunohistochemistry of proteins for DNA mismatch repair in correlation to prognostic factors of mammarian cancer.
Mutations in genes of the DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) are strongly linked to the development of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer and play a significant role in sporadic cancer too. Besides the repair of chromosomal mismatches produced during replication, the MMR is the linkage of DNA mismatches to cell cycle control. Proteins of the MMR are necessary for the induction of apoptosi...

BACKGROUND Mutations in DNA of mismatch repair (MMR) genes result in failure to repair errors that occur during DNA replication in microsatellites, resulting in accumulation of frameshift mutations in these genes and leading to DNA mismatch replication errors and microsatellite instability. Gastric cancers (GCs) with high MSI (MSI-H) are a well-defined subset of carcinomas showing distinctive c...

During replication, the primary function of the eukaryotic DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is to recognize and correct mismatched base pairs within the DNA helix. Deficiencies in MMR have been reported previously in cases of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer and sporadic tumors occurring in a variety of tissues including gliomas. Furthermore, recent evidence indicates that the MMR syst...

Mismatch (MMR) repair system plays a significant role in restoration of stability in the genome. Mutations in mismatch repair genes hamper their activity thus bring about a defect in mismatch repair (MMR) mechanism thereby conferring instability in the microsatellite sequences of both the coding and non-coding regions of the genome. Mutated mismatch repair genes result in the expansion or contr...
