Germline Cancer Susceptibility Variants in Patients With Uveal Melanoma
Germline exome sequencing of 106 Finnish patients with UM, considered at higher risk for genetic cancer predisposition, identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants associated with varying risk of malignancies in 16 patients (15%). Six patients (6%) carried multiple variants and had a median diagnosis age of 51, compared to 60 in the full cohort

Surveillance for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer - A long-term study on 114 families
PURPOSE: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes. Mutation carriers have a 60 to 85 percent risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Background MLH1 is one of six known genes responsible for DNA mismatch repair (MMR), whose inactivation leads to HNPCC. It is important to develop genotype-phenotype correlations for HNPCC, as is being done for other hereditary cancer syndromes, in order
