Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a common autosomal dominant disease caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. The mutational spectrum in these genes appears to be diverse, in both the distribution and the nature of the mutations. However, most described mutation

Worldwide, the DNA mismatch repair genes MSH2 and MLH1 account for a major share and almost equal proportions of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Furthermore, the predisposing mutation usually varies from kindred to kindred. In this study, we screened 29 verified or putative HNPCC
