Take home points: 

  1. Gross del/dups within exons 11-15 of PMS2 or is homologous region in PMS2CL that require follow-up were over-represented in a non-European group vs. European.
  2. Methodologies for follow-up analysis were able to sufficiently differentiate the majority of del/dups within this region, regardless of ancestry.
  3. It is not known whether the same follow-up analysis strategies are used across laboratories
