title: Muir-Torre Syndrome: expanding the genotype and phenotype--a further family with a MSH6 mutation.
abstract: Muir-Torre Syndrome (MTS) is a phenotypic variant of HNPCC traditionally associated with mutations in the mismatch repair genes MLH1 and MSH2. We draw attention to recent reports of MTS found in association with a constitutional MSH6 mutation and describe a further MTS family with a MSH6 mutation, in whom a preponderance of extra-colonic tumours was found.
