An update on Lynch syndrome

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Oncology, 1998
Recent advances in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) have been made based on the discovery early in this decade that germline mutations in genes responsible for repair of DNA mismatches formed the molecular basis for the syndrome. Several studies during the past year described the prevalence of germline mutations in those deemed at risk
