Abstract excerpt
Mutations in DNA repair genes have previously been identified as causative factors for hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). Recent evidence also supports an association between DNA sequence variation in these genes and sporadic colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Genetic investigation of DNA repair genes PMS2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, OGG1 and MTH1, as possible susceptibility factors for sporadic CRC, was done...
