c.5791C>T mutation has also been identified in two colorectal cancer patients [17], and since FANCM is functionally connected with the mismatch repair genes MSH2/MSH6, it has previously been considered as a potential candidate gene for hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) [17, 18]. Here, MSH2 is linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer.
