Abstract excerpt
Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, characterized by a predisposition to various cancers, mainly colorectal cancer (CRC). LS is caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes i.e. mutL homolog 1 (MLH1), mutS homolog 2 (MSH2), mutS homolog 6 (MSH6), and post-meiotic segregation increased 2 (PMS2). In this study, we report a novel germline frameshift mutation in the MLH1 gene...
