Colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome families: consequences of gene germline mutations and the gut microbiota

Abstract Background Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated colorectal cancer (CRC) always ascribes to pathogenic germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. However, the penetrance of CRC varies among those with the same MMR gene mutation. Thus, we hypothesized that the gut microbiota is also involve...
