Turcot's syndrome is characterized clinically by the occurrence of primary brain tumor and colorectal tumor and has in previous reports been shown to be associated with germline mutations in the genes APC, hMLH1, and hPMS2. Here we describe three patients with Turcot's syndrome, each having colorect
## Mutations within microsatellite sequences, consisting of additions or deletions of repeat units, are known as the replication/repair error positive (RER+) phenotype or micorsatellite instability (MI). Microsatellite instability has been demonstrated in hereditary and sporadic colorectal carcino
We have screened 17 Southern Sweden individuals/families with suspected hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) for mutations in the DNA-mismatch repair genes hMLH1, hMSH2 and hMSH6 using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, protein truncation test and direct DNA sequencing. The famil
