Mismatch repair genes founder mutations and cancer susceptibility in Lynch syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Founder mutations in specific populations are common in several Mendelian disorders. They are shared by apparently unrelated families that inherited them from a common ancestor that existed hundreds to thousands of years ago.
