Influence of Genetic Polymorphisms on the Age at Cancer Diagnosis in a Homogenous Lynch Syndrome Cohort of Individuals Carrying the <i>MLH1</i>:c.1528C>T South African Founder Variant

<b>Background:</b> High variability in the age at cancer diagnosis in Lynch syndrome (LS) patients is widely observed, even among relatives with the same germline pathogenic variant (PV) in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Genetic polymorphisms and lifestyle factors are thought to contri...
