The Founder Mutation MSH2*1906G→C Is an Important Cause of Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer in the Ashkenazi Jewish Population

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is caused by mutations in the mismatch-repair genes. We report here the identification and characterization of a founder mutation in MSH2 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. We identified a nucleotide substitution, MSH2*1906G→C, which results in a su...
