Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in MLH1 have frequently been detected in patients with Lynch syndrome, but their genetic significance has not been extensively assessed. In this study, we attempt to evaluate the etiological role of eight MLH1 missense variants. The variants were analyzed for their ability to affect MLH1 protein interaction with its partner PMS2 in vivo employing a yeast two-hybrid system. In addition, a SIFT...
