Predictive and Prognostic Implications of Mutation Profiling and Microsatellite Instability Status in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma

<div>MMR protein determination and MSI status analysis. Immunohistochemical staining pattern of MSI-L colorectal carcinoma samples with isolated loss of MLH1 (a) and intact staining of MSH2 (b), MSH6 (c), and PMS2 (d); examples of fluorescence-based PCR of mononucleotide repeats and typical profiles of a MSS tumor (e) and a MSI-H case (f). MMR: mismatch repair; MSI: microsatellite instability; MSI-L: MSI-low; MSI-H: MSI-high; MSS: microsatellite stability; PCR: polymerase chain reaction.</div>
