Missense variants in hMLH1 identified in patients from the German HNPCC consortium and functional studies
Missense mutations of the DNA mismatch repair gene MLH1 are found in a significant fraction of patients with Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, HNPCC) and their pathogenicity often remains...

Comparative in silico analyses and experimental validation of novel splice site and missense mutations in the genes MLH1 and MSH2
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, an autosomal dominant predisposition to colorectal cancer and other malignancies, is caused by inactivating mutations of DNA mismatch repair genes, mainly MLH1 and MSH2
