    • Lynch syndrome mutation spectrum in New South Wales, Australia, including 55 novel mutations 

      Sjursen, Wenche; McPhillips, Mary; Scott, Rodney J.; Talseth-Palmer, Bente (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Background Lynch syndrome, the most frequent hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, is caused by defects in mismatch repair genes. Genetic testing is important in order to identify mutation carriers who can benefit from ...
