Core Tip
Core Tip: Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder because of germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, such as MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene, PMS1 homolog 2 gene, MutS homolog 2 gene, and MutS homolog 6 gene, which make the patient more susceptible to other malignancies. In Chinese, MLH1 germline mutation c.(453+1_454-1)_(545+1_546-1)del-induced LS has been infrequently reported. In this paper, we report a rare LS patient with colorectal and endometrioid adenocarcinoma. The genetic panel sequencing showed a novel pathogenic germline mutation in MLH1, c.(453+1_454-1)_(545+1_546-1)del, for LS.
