Classification of MSH6 Variants of Uncertain Significance Using Functional Assays

Abstract excerpt

Lynch syndrome (LS) is one of the most common hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes worldwide. Individuals with LS have a high risk of developing colorectal or endometrial cancer, as well as several other cancers. LS is caused by autosomal dominant pathogenic variants in one of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, PMS2 or MSH6, and typically include truncating variants, such as frameshift,...
