The Challenge of Diagnosing Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency Syndrome in Brain Malignancies from Young Individuals
Biallelic germline mismatch repair (MMR) gene <i>(MLH1, MSH2, MSH6,</i> and <i>PMS2)</i> mutations are an extremely rare event that causes constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome. CMMRD is underdiagnosed and often debuts with pediatric malignant brain tumor...
