  • Types and frequencies of Lynch syndrome mutations identified through multigene panel testing
  • The mutation types and most frequently seen mutations in this multi-gene panel testing cohort support previous Lynch syndrome literature.
  • While most previous studies suggest that mutations in MLH1 and MSH2 are the most common causes of LS, MSH6 and PMS2 were most common in this cohort.
