MLH1/MSH2/MSH6 (Lynch Syndrome) Study Identifies Genetic Mutations Associated With Cancer Risk For Hereditary Cancer Syndrome - media



"The researchers found significant differences in estimated cumulative cancer risk between the 3 mutated genes......"
"This analysis of a nationwide series of 537 families with Lynch syndrome provides age- and gene-specific risk estimates for each tumor of the spectrum. The results should help clarify the phenotypic differences between MSH6, MLH1, or MSH2 mutation carriers and highlight the clinical significance of the risk of gynecological (and especially ovarian) cancers," the researchers conclude."
