Overview
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is caused by germline mutations in one of the four MMR genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2), that results in defective repair of DNA sequence. Deletions in the EPCAM gene also cause hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.
Causes
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is caused by a genetic mutation in MMR gene, that results in defective repair of DNA sequence.[1][2]
- Deletions in the EPCAM gene, which can lead to MSH2 silencing, also cause hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.[3][4]
