Mismatch repair testing
- MLH1/PMS2/MSH2/MSH6 intact staining: Unlikely germline mutation (< 5%)
- MSH2/MSH6 loss: Indicative of germline mutation, genetic counseling recommended
- MLH/PMS2 loss: Recommend MLH1 promoter methylation testing
- If hypermethylated, likely represents sporadic inactivation rather than germline mutation
- If not hypermethylated, genetic counseling recommended as patient likely carries a germline mutation in MLH1
