rs193922376

rs193922376, also known as c.942+3A>T and c.943+3A>T, is a rare mutation in the MSH2 gene on chromosome 2. Acting in an autosomal dominant manner, the rs193922376(T) allele is considered pathogenic by multiple sources in ClinVar for Lynch syndrome, a disorder characterized by increased risk for colon cancer and other cancers. Although still exceedingly rare, this mutation has been cited as perhaps the most common Lynch syndrome mutation.
