摘要: The family histories of 130 individuals with documented hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) (caused by mutations in mismatch-repair (MMR) genes MSH2 (n = 64), MLH1 62) or MSH6 4)) were obtained, and incidence cancers those families was compared to that the general population. There a total 982 723 individuals. Colorectal (CRC) commonest type (64% 55% from germline respectively). Median age at diagnosis first CRC mutation 59 years 45 both families. relative risk (RR) endometrial 55 families, 27 37 families; median 49 years.
