Deskripsi
Inherited mutations in MUTYH have been shown to predispose patients to colorectal cancers. Here, the authors show that MUTYH mutations lead to an increased somatic base substitution mutation rate in normal intestinal epithelial cells, which is the likely cause for the increased cancer risk.
