Dermal neurofibromas (dNFs) are benign tumors of the peripheral nervous system typically associated with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients. Genes controlling the integrity of the DNA are likely to influence the number of neurofibromas developed because dNFs are caused by somatic mutational ina

## Communicated by Riccardo Fodde Familial adenomatous polyposis has been linked to germline mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene. However, a number of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (with either classical or attenuated phenotype) have no APC mutation. Recently, germline mutatio
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) provides a method of surveying the entire tumor genome for regional variations in DNA sequence copy number. Such variations, if found recurrently, may indicate the locations of genes that contribute to tumor development through upregulation of oncogenes (copy
## Abstract Many hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers (CRCs) cannot be explained by Lynch syndrome. Other high penetrance genetic risk factors are likely to play a role in these mismatch repair (MMR)‐proficient CRC families. Because genomic profiles of CRC tend to vary with CRC susceptibility
