## Abstract Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is often caused by a deficiency in DNA mismatch repair. By using conventional methods of mutation analysis, point mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes __MSH2__ and __MLH1__ have been detected in up to 64% of patients suspected of H
