Public health perspectives on testing for colorectal cancer susceptibility genes.

American journal of preventive medicine - 1 Feb 1999

Coughlin S S, Miller D S

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: About 131,600 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 1998. About 27,900 men and 28,600 women will die from colorectal cancer in 1998. Mutations to the hMSH2 gene on chromosome 2p and to the hMLH1 gene on chromosome 3p have been identified as causes of colorectal cancer. These mismatch repair genes, which have recently been cloned, account for most cases of hereditary...
