MLH1 loss and BRAF V600E
"... epigenetic inactivation of MLH1 in tumors that often carry mutations in oncogenic BRAFV600E." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25386108/
"If a BRAF V600E mutation is present, loss of MLH1 is likely sporadic in nature and MLH1 hypermethylation testing is not indicated."
Unusually MMR loss
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8860743/ - isolated MSH6 and isolated PMS2 are the most common of the uncommon loss patterns
