There were 3 individuals overall (1 LS, 1 MMRD+/germline−, 1 sporadic MSI-H) who had staining performed for MLH1 only before staining for PMS2 was available. These individuals have been added to the statistics for MLH1&PMS2, as they likely would have stained negative for PMS2 if it had been available.

Significant pairwise comparisons (alpha < 0.008):
