Abstract excerpt
Inherited biallelic mutations in the base excision repair gene MYH confer susceptibility to colorectal adenomas and carcinoma. Approximately 85% of Caucasians with MYH mutations carry the (c.494A>G) p.Y165C and (c.1145G>A) p.G382D variants. Only a few other clearly pathogenic mutations have been identified, and mutation analyses tend to focus on the two founder mutations rather than the whole coding region of the...
