Germline mutations in mismatch repair genes are responsible for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), the most common hereditary cancer-susceptibility syndrome. We report six novel germline mutations, three in MSH2 and three in MLH1. All but one mutation have been found in families fulf

## Abstract HNPCC is an autosomal dominantly inherited cancerβsusceptibility syndrome that confers an increased risk for colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer at a young age. It also entails an increased risk of a variety of other tumors, such as ovarian, gastric, uroepithelial and biliary tract
Lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) of the breast is commonly identified as an incidental finding in breast biopsies performed because of either a mammographic abnormality or a palpable mass. Although long recognized as an entity, the significance and optimal treatment of LCIS remains controversial. In
