Fourteen Italian families affected with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) were screened for germline mutations at three DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MSH2, MLH1, and GTBP, by using a combination of different methods that included an in vitro synthesized protein assay, single-stran
Mutations in hMSH2 and hMLH1 genes were analyzed in patients from 11 Japanese families that had been diagnosed as carrying hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) by clinical examination. Germ line mutations of hMSH2 gene were identified in 5 independent families in which colorectal (87% o
## Abstract Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominantly inherited cancer syndrome associated with germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Recently a polymorphism at codon 72 (R72P) in the tumour suppressor gene __TP53__ has been implicated in the age
In an earlier investigation, we did not detect a major genetic component to lung cancer in families of nonsmoking lung cancer probands. However, heterogeneity with respect to familial aggregation, based on probands' age at diagnosis, was evident. We reanalyzed our previously collected data of 257 fa
