Structural Variants in MSH2 and MLH1 from 132 Patients

Worrawit Wanitsuwan published a dataset of structural variants found in the MSH2 and MLH1 genes. The data covers 132 patients and was last updated on May 11, 2026. It is available as a 10.2 KB XLSX file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify pathogenic structural variants in MSH2 and MLH1 genes based on patient data.
• Assess the prevalence of specific variant types in a clinical cohort based on the dataset's patient count.
• Perform statistical analysis on structural variant distribution across 132 patient samples.
• Validate bioinformatics pipelines for detecting structural variants in clinical genetics.

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on two specific genes (MSH2 and MLH1), which are clinically significant for Lynch syndrome.
• Contains data from 132 patients, providing a defined cohort size.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The 10.2 KB file size suggests a very limited scope of data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
