Distinct patterns of germ-line deletions inMLH1 andMSH2: the implication of Alu repetitive element in the genetic etiology of Lynch syndrome (HNPCC)
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
A relatively high frequency of germ-line genomic rearrangements in MLH1 and MSH2 has been reported among Lynch Syndrome (HNPCC) patients from different ethnic populations. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms, we characterized the DNA breakpoints of 11 germ-line deletions, six for MLH1 and five for MSH2. Distinct deletion patterns were found for the two genes. The five cases of MSH2 deletions result...
