Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer causes
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is caused by germline mutations in one of the four MMR genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2), that results in defective repair of DNA sequence. Deletions in the EPCAM gene also cause hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
