The immunohistochemical assessment of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins represents a pivotal screening tool for identifying Lynch syndrome (LS)-related cancers, as the loss of their expression often indicates MMR dysfunction associated with genetic or epigenetic alterations. Frequently, LS-related colorectal cancers present germline pathogenic variants in the MLH1 or MSH2 genes, which result in the simultaneous immunohistochemical loss of MLH1 and PMS2 or MSH2 and MSH6 proteins expression, respectively. Less commonly observed is the single involvement of the MSH6 or PMS2 proteins expression, indicative of the presence of germline pathogenic variants in the corresponding genes. Extremely rarely reported are the null immunohistochemistry phenotypes represented by the complete loss of expression of all MMR proteins. The molecular mechanisms contributing to the raising of this latter uncommon immunohistochemical phenotype are derived from the combination of pathogenic germline variants in MMR genes with the somatic hypermethylation of the MLH1 gene promoter. This study focuses on elucidating the molecular cascade leading to the development of the null immunohistochemical phenotype, providing valuable insights into understanding the sequential molecular events driving the LS-associated tumorigenesis, which may have pivotal implications in the clinical management of patients with LS-related cancers.
