Abstract excerpt
Alterations in known mismatch repair (MMR) genes have been found in many cancers, such as in hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome (HNPCC), in addition to specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor gene abnormalities. We have reported mutations in the MMR genes hMSH2, hPMS2 and hMSH6 in human breast epithelial cell lines (HBEC). In hPMS2 we found a non-sense mutation in codon number 471 by a change of...
