Popis: Minichromosome maintenance complex component 6 (MCM6) is involved in initiating DNA replication and is upregulated during licensed G0 phase of the cell cycle. This early expression permits its labeling of more proliferating cells than those by Ki-67. Here using a cohort of 89 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, we report findings made on the prognostic value of MCM6 based on immunohistochemical labeling index (LI) of the protein in comparison with that of Ki67 as no such information is currently available. Additionally, we examined the prognostic values of these markers based on their mRNA expression using a cohort of uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC, n = 307) taken from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Our evidence indicated the presence of a positive correlation between the LI of MCM6 and the histological grade of endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma (grade I, 66.7%; grade II, 75.3%; grade III, 81.4%; p
