Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MMRpro, prediction of mutations in MLH1 and MLH2 (PREMM(1,2)) and MMRpredict are models which were developed to predict the probability that an individual carries a Lynch syndrome-causing mutation. Each model utilizes data from personal and family histories of cancer. To date, no studies have compared these models in a cancer genetics clinic. The purpose of this study was to determine each model's...
