Comprehensive analysis of the contribution of germline MYH variation to early-onset colorectal cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the base excision repair gene MYH have recently been shown to confer recessive susceptibility to colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. To evaluate the contribution of germline MYH mutations to early-onset colorectal cancer, we screened a series of 358 unselected early-onset cases for germline changes in the coding sequence of the gene. Two cases harbored biallelic germline mutations (0.6%; 95% CI =...
