Genomic deletions of MSH2 and MLH1 in colorectal cancer families detected by a novel mutation detection approach
1 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer is an autosomal dominant condition due to germline mutations in DNA-mismatch-repair genes, in particular MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6. Here we describe the application of a novel technique for the detection of genomic deletions in MLH1 and MSH2. This method, called multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, is a quantitative multiplex PCR approach to determine the relative...
