0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE The carcinomas showed microsatellite instability in the presence of MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6 proteins, indicating that the variant c.1A>G leads to an alternative protein with reduced activity that is retained in the tumours.Our data suggest that the MSH2 variant c.1A>G (p.Met1?) should not be considered as a regular pathogenic mutation that leads to a strongly increased cancer risk, though it possibly contributes to a more severe phenotype when combined with a truncating mutation on the other allele. 18781192 2009
