Molecular characterization of mismatch repair deficient tumors in young Jordanian patients
<title>Abstract</title> In Jordan, approximately 19% of colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) in patients younger than 45 years show mismatch repair deficiency (MMRD) by immunohistochemistry (IHC). MMRD in pediatric high-grade gliomas (HGG) and CRC in Jordan appears substantially more fre...
