Germline Variants in MLH1 and ATM Genes in a Young Patient with MSI-H in a Precancerous Colonic Lesion
Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that primarily predisposes individuals to colorectal and endometrial cancer. It is associated with pathogenic variants in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. In this study, we report the case of a 16-year-old boy who developed a precancero...
