Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (CRC) without mismatch repair (MMR) defects occurs in almost half of high-risk CRC families, but its genetic cause(s) is(are) still unknown. We aimed to identify unique molecular features that differentiate hereditary from sporadic MMR-proficient colorectal tumours. METHODS: Genomic alterations in 16 tumours from 14 Amsterdam I-II families were studied using...
