The sequencing of genomic DNA samples from 728 patients with cervical dysplasia or invasive carcinoma in the coding regions of 17 candidate genes revealed 23 pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants of the MMR genes MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6, the MMR‐related gene MUTYH or the HDR genes BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, FANCM, RAD51D and SLX4 in a total of 29 patients (4.0%) (Table 1). The gene discussed is MSH6; the disease is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
