Abstract

Hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) may affect up to 1 in 200 people in industrialized nations (Bishop and Thomas 1990; Lynch et al. 1991, 1993; Peltomaki et al. 1993b). Four genes have been identified in which inherited mutations appear to cause HNPCC. hMSH2 on chromosome 2p21-22 appears to account for up to 60% of HNPCC (Fishel et al. 1993; Leach et al. 1993; Sandkuijl and Bishop 1993; Nystrom-Lahti et al. 1994), hMLH1 on chromosome 3p21 appears to account for up to 30% of HNPCC (Bronner et al. 1994; Nystrom-Lahti et al. 1994; Papadopoulos et al. 1994), and hPMS1 on chromosome 2q31-33 and hPMS2 on chromosome 7p21 may account for 5% of HNPCC (Nicolaides et al. 1994).
