LaboratoryMSH2 gene+MLH1 gene+MSH6 gene mutation analysis limited to known familial mutations in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This term is used for carrier or diagnostic testing for at-risk or presymptomatic relatives of an affected individual who has a previously identified known genetic mutation within the MLH1, MSH2 or MSH6 genes. Mutations in these genes cause hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Mutation analysis only includes testing for the known familial mutation.
