Functional analysis of human MLH1 and MSH2 missense variants and hybrid human-yeast MLH1 proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by defects in the process of DNA mismatch repair (MMR), and mutations in the hMLH1 or hMSH2 genes are responsible for the majority of HNPCC. In addition to clear loss-of-function mutations conferred by nonsense or frameshift alterations in the coding sequence or by splice variants, genetic screening has revealed a...
