MSH6 and colorectal carcinoma: As the proportion of missense somatic mutations that were functionally deleterious was less in colorectal carcinoma compared to other types of cancer, we assessed whether somatic mutations in mismatch repair genes (MLH1, MLH3, MSH2, MSH6, PMS1, and PMS2) were associated with the functional status of CDKN2A missense somatic mutations.
