Abstract excerpt
Lynch syndrome is caused by mutations in one of the mismatch-repair system (MMR) genes. A major difficulty in diagnosis and management of Lynch syndrome is the existence of unclassified genetic variants (UVs) with unknown clinical significance, especially mutations with new descriptions and missense-type nucleotide substitutions. We evaluated the pathogenicity of 20 such mutations (6 in MLH1, 4 in MSH2, and 7 in...
