Abstract excerpt
A substantial proportion of MLH1 and MSH2 gene mutations in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome (HNPCC) families are characterized by nucleotide substitutions, either within the coding sequence (missense or silent mutations) or in introns. The question of whether these mutations affect the normal function of encoding mismatch DNA repair proteins and thus lead to the predisposition to cancer is...
