Abstract excerpt
To determine the role played by MLH1 and MSH2 missense variants in cancer susceptibility, we have investigated the following genetic and biological characteristics associated with six MLH1 and four MSH2 missense changes identified in Italian hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) families: co-segregation with disease phenotype and/or bonafide pathogenetic mutations; presence of the variant in healthy...
