This hypothesis states that a mitotic recombination on chromosome 3p simultaneously leads to inactivation of the mismatch repair gene MLH1 and to the activation of CTNNB1. This explains the increased frequency of CTNNB1 mutations in MLH1-LS-CRC compared with other colon carcinomas. To test this hypothesis, various experiments were carried out that show that the first phase of recombination occurs in non-cancerous tissues, which favours the development of CTNNB1 mutations. This mechanism could explain the rapid tumour progression in MLH1-LS-CRC. The results highlight the importance of mitotic recombination in carcinogenesis and provide an insight into the genetic basis of colorectal carcinoma in the context of Lynch syndrome.
