MLH1 Promoter Hypermethylation
Overview of MLH1 Promoter Hypermethylation in Alappuzha
What is the MLH1 Hypermethylation test?
This test detects methylation of the MLH1 gene promoter, which can silence the gene and contribute to cancer development.
Why is the test performed?
It is used in the evaluation of Lynch syndrome and in determining whether mismatch repair deficiency in colorectal cancer is due to sporadic causes.
What sample is needed, and how is it collected?
Tumor tissue obtained through biopsy or surgery is analyzed for MLH1 methylation status.
How are the results interpreted?
Hypermethylation indicates likely sporadic tumorigenesis, while absence may suggest inherited cancer syndromes.
Is any special preparation needed before the test?
No preparation is needed by the patient, though a formal pathology report is required.
