Abstract excerpt
Biallelic germline mutations of MUTYH, the gene encoding DNA glycosylase, cause MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP), characterized by multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinoma(s). However, a considerable number of MUTYH variants are still functionally uncharacterized. Herein, we report the results of functional evaluation of nine missense-type MUTYH variant proteins in the Japanese population. The DNA glycosylase...
