Overview
Overview
Purpose: The MSH2 test is often performed to assess the risk of hereditary cancers, particularly Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, HNPCC). Lynch syndrome is associated with mutations in ...
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment
Normal Function: The MSH2 gene encodes a protein that plays a critical role in repairing DNA errors that occur during cell division. Proper function helps prevent mutations that could lead to cancer.

Description
MSH2 test, also known as a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) test, is a diagnostic procedure used to identify mutations or abnormalities in the MSH2 gene. The MSH2 gene is responsible for encoding a protein that plays a crucial role in repairing DNA damage. Mutations in this gene can lead to Lynch syndrome, a hereditary condition associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. The MSH2 test involves analyzing a sample of DNA, usually obtained from blood or tissue, to detect any alterations in the MSH2 gene sequence....
