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

Sarcomas, including the malignant fibrous histiocytomas (MFHs), are not known to be part of the tumour spectrum of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) as epidemiologically established. Therefore, occurrence of MFH in an HNPCC family may very well be coincidental. HNPCC is associated w
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
By means of PCR-SSCP and direct sequencing, we detected 12 germ-line mutations of hMSH2 or hMLH1 in 37 Japanese hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) kindreds, of whom 15 satisfied the Amsterdam and 22 the Japanese criteria. The germ-line mutation detection rate of hMSH2 was much higher
Fourteen Italian families affected with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) were screened for germline mutations at three DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MSH2, MLH1, and GTBP, by using a combination of different methods that included an in vitro synthesized protein assay, single-stran
