<i>MLH1</i> Promoter Methylation Could Be the Second Hit in Lynch Syndrome Carcinogenesis
(1) Background: <i>MLH1</i> hypermethylation is an epigenetic alteration in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and endometrial cancer (EC), causing gene silencing, and, as a consequence, microsatellite instability. Commonly, <i>MLH1</i> hypermethylation is considere...
