“…Previously, from a cohort of CRC patients, we identified 68 suspected Lynch syndrome cases. However, an analysis of germline mutations of the MMR genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, confirmed only 32% of these CRC cases as Lynch syndrome cases (4). This indicated the existence of additional genetic susceptibility factors that account for familial risk and which remain to be elucidated.…”

“…Other truncating protein causing mutations, c.1089 G < T andc.2634-2 A < G, that results with a splice defect was originally reported in MSH2 gene [24] . In Malaysia population, two novel mutations, c.3341_3342insC and c.3885_3891delTAAAAGC were characterized in MSH6 and c.2395C > T mutation was defined in PMS2 gene [25] . Recently, an unidentified mutation of MLH1, c.2044_2045del was linked to LS in a Caribbean Hispanic family [26] .…”
