Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene MLH1 are associated with a large percentage of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancers. There are approximately 250 known human mutations in MLH1. Of these, one-third are missense variants that are often difficult to characterize with regards to pathogenicity. We analysed 28 alleles of baker's yeast MLH1 that correspond to non-truncating human mutant...
