Abstract excerpt
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma is a major cancer susceptibility syndrome known to be caused by inheritance of mutations in at least four genes such as hMSH2, hMLH1, hPMS1, and hPMS2 which encode components of a DNA mismatch repair system. The hMLH1 genomic locus on chromosome 3p has...
