Germline MLH1 and MSH6 mutations from two Lynch syndrome families identified in a patient with early-onset of endometrial cancer: A case report

Introduction: Lynch syndrome is caused by a germline mutation in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, leading to the loss of expression of MMR heterodimers, either MLH1/PMS2 or MSH2/MSH6, or isolated loss of PMS2 or MSH6. Concurrent loss of both heterodimers is uncommon, and patients carrying pathogenic var...
