## Communicated by Graham R. Taylor Mutations within the DNA mismatch repair gene, ''postmeiotic segregation increased 2'' (PMS2), have been associated with a predisposition to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; Lynch syndrome). The presence of a large family of highly homologous PM
Long-range PCR facilitates the identification of PMS2-specific mutations
