Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) is associated with germline mutations in one of several MisMatch Repair (MMR) genes. An increasing proportion (20-25%) of the reported MSH2 variants consists of single amino-acid substitution with uncertain disease-causing significance. The present
