A novel complex mutation in MSH2 contributes to both Muir-Torre and Lynch Syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in mismatch repair genes lead to Lynch Syndrome, the most common form of inherited colorectal cancer. In this report, we describe a novel complex germline mutation c.[1601_1661+92dup; 1591_1611del] of the mismatch repair gene, MSH2. This mutation, which segregates with the disease phenotype, was discovered in a Lynch syndrome kindred that also shows a history of the Muir-Torre syndrome. Interestingly,...
