IMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY: MICROSATELLITE INSTABILITY PANEL (Z680)
₹9,160
About This Test
Microsatellite markers can be used to detect a form of genetic instability called Microsatellite Instability (MSI). MSI is a consequence of germline or somatic inactivation of mismatch repair genes including MSH2, MSH6, MLH1 & PMS2. This panel studies mismatch repair proteins in Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome. About 15% of patients having MSI tumors have Lynch syndrome while remaining have a sporadic form of Colorectal carcinoma (CRC). 95% of patients with Lynch syndrome have MSI.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What Is outsourced test ?
Outsourced test are being done from Dr. Lal Path Lab. Charges and reporting time is same as of Dr. Lal Path Labs.
2. Any Preparation for the test ?
No special preparation.
3. Why this test is important ?
Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is defective, causing errors in repetitive DNA sequences (microsatellites). The MSI panel uses IHC to detect loss of MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) in tumor tissue.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
