Notes

rs63750347, also known as c.754C>T, p.Gln252Ter and Q252X, is a very rare mutation in the MSH2 gene on chromosome 2. Acting in an autosomal dominant manner, the rs63750347(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 on their v3 chip under it's real (public) name, on their v4 chip, rs63750347 has been renamed by 23andMe to a private name, i5900960.
