Abstract excerpt
Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer) is an inherited disease caused by germ-line mutation in mismatch repair genes such as MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6. The mutations include missense and nonsense mutations, small insertions and deletions, and gross genetic alterations including large deletions and duplications. In addition to these genetic changes, mutations in introns are also involved in the...
