Germline hMLH1 promoter mutation in a Newfoundland HNPCC kindred
Hereditary non‐polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant form of inherited predisposition to colorectal and other malignancies. It is associated with mutations in DNA mismatch‐repair genes, especially hMSH2 and hMLH1. Management of HNPCC families is improved if the underlying mutation...
