Computational and cellular studies reveal structural destabilization and degradation of MLH1 variants in Lynch syndrome

2019-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Defective mismatch repair leads to increased mutation rates, and germline loss-of-function variants in the repair component MLH1 cause the hereditary cancer predisposition disorder known as Lynch syndrome. Early diagnosis is important, but complicated by many variants being of unknown significance. Here we show that a majority of the disease-linked MLH1 variants we studied are present at reduced cellular levels. W...
