## Abstract Hereditary nonβpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by susceptibility to largeβbowel cancer, frequently with early onset and localized in the right colon. Several tumours of other sites may also occur with increased frequency in these famil
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is known to be associated with several extracolonic cancers, e.g., cancers of the endometrium, stomach, urinary tract, small bowel and ovary. An association between HNPCC and brain tumours has also been reported, although previous risk analysis did
Germ-line mutations in MLH1 and MSH2 genes predispose to hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome, but they do not predict a specific phenotype of the disease. We speculated that the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated gene (ATM) was a candidate gene to modulate the phenotypic expressio
