abstract：:Lynch syndrome is caused by germline mutations in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2. The novel MSH2 c.[2635-3T>C; 2635-5C>T] mutation was identified in 4 Lynch families, cosegregating with the disease. This mutation, located in intron 15, was predicted to alter the correct mRNA processing by in silico...
