Abstract excerpt
Lynch syndrome is a hereditary disease characterized by an increased risk of colorectal and other cancers. Germline variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes are responsible for this disease. Previously, we screened the MMR genes in colorectal cancer patients who fulfilled modified Amsterdam II criteria, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MPLA) identified 11 structural variants (SVs) of MLH1...
