  Objective: A molecular-genetic study of early onset colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in Kazakhstan. Methods: The direct sequencing of crucial regions of key CRC genes (APC codons between nucleotides 967-1386 and 1286–1513; exons 8 and 16 of MLH1 and exon 7 of MSH2; exons 5-9 of TP53) was performed for early cancer-onset and suspected familial cases. Results: Blood was collected from 249 patients diagnosed with rectal or colon cancer. There were 32 patients with early onset CRC (28-50 yrs), including 10 patients with a family history of cancer. Two types of nucleotide replacements were detected in intron 4 (c.376-19C>T) and intron 9 (c.993+12T>C) of TP53, both in the heterozygous state. Another nucleotide substitution was present in 15 patients in intron 15 of MLH1 (c.1732-90C>A) while known coding po.. View More»
