In sporadic colorectal tumours the BRAF(V600E) is associated with microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and inversely associated to KRAS mutations. Tumours from hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients carrying germline mutations in hMSH2 or hMLH1 do not show BRAF(V600E), however no consistent data exist regarding KRAS mutation frequency and spectrum in HNPCC tumours. We investigated KRAS in 158 HNPCC tumours from patients with germline hMLH1, hMSH2 or hMSH6 mutations, 166 MSI-H and 688 microsatellite stable (MSS) sporadic carcinomas. All tumours were characterized for MSI and 81 of 166 sporadic MSI-H colorectal cancer (CRCs) were analysed for hMLH1 promoter hypermethylation. KRAS mutations were observed in 40% of HNPCC tumours, and the mutation frequency varied upon the mismatch repair gene affected: 48% (29/61) in hMSH2, 32% (29/91) in hMLH1 and 83% (5/6) in hMSH6 (P=0.01). KRAS mutation frequency was different between HNPCC, MSS and MSI-H CRCs (P=0.002), and MSI-H with hMLH1 hypermethylation (P=0.005). Furthermore, HNPCC CRCs had more G13D mutations than MSS (P
