Communicated by Sauiu L.C. Woo We examined 18 unrelated individuals who have colorectal cancer or cancers associated with the HNPCC syndrome and have a family history of cancer for mutations in exon 13 of the hMSH2 gene. Two of the 18 individuals had the same previously unreported single-base delet
We have screened 17 Southern Sweden individuals/families with suspected hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) for mutations in the DNA-mismatch repair genes hMLH1, hMSH2 and hMSH6 using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, protein truncation test and direct DNA sequencing. The famil
