Abstract excerpt
Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, characterized by predisposition to colorectal cancer and other associated cancers, is an autosomal-dominant disorder mainly caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes such as MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6. Some mutations that disrupt splice donor or acceptor sites cause aberrant mRNA splicing. These mutations are generally...
