Summary

It is recommended that new CRCs should be classified into sporadic MMR-proficient, sporadic dMMR, or Lynch d MMR subgroups, and the concurrent use of MSI testing, MMR protein IHC, and BRAF c.1799T>A mutation analysis would detect almost all dMMr CRCs, which would increase detection of inherited and de novo germline mutations to guide family screening.
