Abstract excerpt
MUTYH encodes a glycosylase involved in the base excision repair of DNA. Biallelic pathogenic germline variants in MUTYH cause an autosomal recessive condition known as MUTYH-associated adenomatous polyposis and consequently increase the risk of colorectal cancer. However, reports of increased cancer risk in individuals carrying only one defective MUTYH allele are controversial and based on studies involving few...
