Novel MLH1 duplication identified in Colombian families with Lynch syndrome
Purpose: Lynch syndrome accounts for 2-4% of all colorectal cancer, and is mainly caused by germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes. Our aim was to characterize the genetic mutation responsible for Lynch syndrome in an extensive Colombian family and to study its prevalence in Antioquia....
