Mutations in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1 and MSH2 have been linked to several human cancers which display the replication error (RER) phenotype. Germline mutations in these two genes have been implicated in about 90% of families with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). A significant proportion of endometrial cancers, the second most common malignancy of the HNPCC syndrome, also exhibit...
