MLH1

mutL homolog 1, colon cancer, nonpolyposis type 2 (E. coli)

On chromosome: 3p21.3
Known also as: FCC2; COCA2; HNPCC; hMLH1; HNPCC2; MGC5172;

NCBI Gene ID:	4292
NCBI Ensembl Id:	ENSG00000076242
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database)	120436
Species:	Homo sapiens

This gene was identified as a locus frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). It is a human homolog of the E. coli DNA mismatch repair gene mutL, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+phenotype) found in HNPCC. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Additional transcript variants have been described, but their full-length natures have not been determined.
