Variable MMR protein expression in relation to tumor differentiation. A) case 5 with retained expression for PMS2 in a mucinous tumor component and loss of PMS2 expression in a non-mucinous component. B) case 2 with clonal and intraglandular heterogeneity for MLH1 in the adenomatous component of the tumor, whereas the remaining tumors showed retained expression for MLH1. C-D) case 17 with clonal heterogeneity for MLH6 in a poorly differentiated tumor component and homogenous expression in a well-differentiated tumor component.
