MYH11 functions as a contractile protein, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy through adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis. In cancers, an oncogenic fusion CBFB/MYH11 and frameshift mutations have been reported. Truncating mutants of MYH11 exhibited increased ATPase and motor activity, suggesting their roles in energy balance and movement of cancer cells. MYH11 gene has a mononucleotide repeat (C8) in the coding sequences that could be a mutational target in the cancers exhibiting microsatellite instability (MSI). We analyzed the C8 repeat in 79 gastric cancers (GCs) and 124 colorectal cancers (CRCs) including 113 high MSI (MSI-H) and 90 microsatellite stable/low MSI cases. We detected MYH11 frameshift mutations in 4 (11.8%) GCs and 17 (21.5%) CRCs with MSI-H (21/113, 18.6%), but not in microsatellite stable/low MSI cancers (0/90) (P
