If cannot be determined: reason:
PMS2: Cannot be determined / Normal retained nuclear expression / Abnormal loss of nuclear expression / Not done / Result to follow
If cannot be determined: reason:
MSH2: Cannot be determined / Normal retained nuclear expression / Abnormal loss of nuclear expression / Not done / Result to follow
If cannot be determined: reason:
MSH6: Cannot be determined / Normal retained nuclear expression / Abnormal loss of nuclear expression / Not done / Result to follow
If cannot be determined: reason:
BRAF V600E testing: Cannot be determined: provide reason below / Not done / Negative for cytoplasmic staining by immunohistochemistry / Positive cytoplasmic staining by immunohistochemistry / Negative for BRAF V600E mutation by PCR testing / Positive for BRAF V600E mutation by PCR testing
Note: BRAFV600E testing is generally indicated with MLH1 and PMS2 loss to distinguish between cases with sporadic MMR deficiency and possible Lynch syndrome
If cannot be determined: reason:
Comment for MMR IHC:
Loss of nuclear expression of MSH6 only: High probability of Lynch syndrome. Referral to a genetic counsellor ± further genetic testing to confirm or exclude Lynch syndrome is advised.
Loss of nuclear expression of MSH2 and MSH6: High probability of Lynch syndrome. Referral to a genetic counsellor ± further genetic testing to confirm or exclude Lynch syndrome is advised.
Loss of nuclear expression of PMS2 only: High probability of Lynch syndrome. Referral to a genetic counsellor ± further genetic testing to confirm or exclude Lynch syndrome is advised.
Loss of nuclear expression of MLH1 & PMS2, BRAFV600E negative: absence of BRAFV600E mutation suggests the possibility of Lynch syndrome. Referral to a genetic counsellor ± further genetic testing is advised to exclude or confirm Lynch syndrome.
Loss of nuclear expression of MLH1 and PMS2, BRAFV600E positive: the presence of a BRAF V600E mutation and/or MLH1 methylation suggests that the tumour is sporadic and germline evaluation is probably not indicated.
Normal retained nuclear staining for PMS2 and MSH6 makes Lynch syndrome unlikely.
Normal retained nuclear staining for MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6 makes Lynch syndrome unlikely.
