Gene information for MSH2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4436
Official gene symbolMSH2
Full namemutS homolog 2, colon cancer, nonpolyposis type 1 (E. coli)
Aliases,COCA1,FCC1,HNPCC,HNPCC1,LCFS2,
Gene summaryMSH2 was identified as a locus frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC.
