Abstract excerpt

Women with germ-line mutations in the mismatch repair genes (responsible for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) face an increased risk of colonic and endometrial cancer. However, these germ-line mutations are rare and are responsible for fewer than 1% of endometrial cancers. Therefore, we examined whether or not common variants of the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer-associated genes might also...
