Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer

0.800 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a cancer-predisposing condition caused by inactivating mutations in at least four genes (MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, and PMS2) belonging to the mismatch repair system. 14518071 2003
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer
0.800 Biomarker disease BEFREE Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is commonly associated with at least three currently known DNA mismatch repair genes: (a) hMSH2; (b) hMLH1; and (c) hMSH6. 12702580 2003

0.800 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Altered expression of MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 in predisposition to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. 14512394 2003
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer
0.800 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Germline mutations in mismatch repair genes, mainly in hMLH1, hMSH2, and hMSH6, predispose to the hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. 12920072 2003
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer
0.800 CausalMutation disease CLINVAR MSH6 germline mutations are rare in colorectal cancer families. 14520694 2003
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer

Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer
0.800 Biomarker disease BEFREE The risk for all HNPCC-related tumors was significantly lower in MSH6 than in MLH1 or MSH2 mutation carriers (P = 0.002). 15236168 2004
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer
0.800 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that predisposes to predominantly colorectal and endometrial cancers due to germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, mainly MLH1, MSH2 and in families with excess endometrial cancer also MSH6. 14961575 2004
