Abstract excerpt
The hMLH1 gene encodes a protein that is involved in the DNA mismatch repair system. The coding region of the hMLH1 gene has been known to be mutated in a subset of patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Our current research characterized the promoter region of the hMLH1 gene and searched for mutations correlating to HNPCC. Utilizing the oligo-capping method, major transcription start...
