Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Biallelic germline pathogenic variants of the base excision repair (BER) pathway gene MUTYH predispose to colorectal cancer (CRC) and other cancers. The possible association of heterozygous variants with broader cancer susceptibility remains uncertain. This study investigated the prevalence and consequences of pathogenic MUTYH variants and MUTYH loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in a large pan-cancer...
