Functional examination of MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 intronic mutations identified in Danish colorectal cancer patients
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Germ-line mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 predispose to the development of colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer). These mutations include disease-causing frame-shift, nonsense, and splicing mutations as well as large genomic rearrangements. However, a large number of mutations, including missense, silent, and intronic variants, are classified as variants of unknown clinical significance.
