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
