Abstract excerpt
Common but weakly penetrant mutations of certain genes may confer an increased susceptibility to colorectal cancer and account for a proportion of 'sporadic' cases. We analysed DNA from 111 colorectal cancer cases and 114 controls for a specific candidate sequence variation in the hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer gene hMSH2. The variant sequence was found in a quarter of individuals, and there was no...
