Novel germline MSH2 mutation in lynch syndrome patient surviving multiple cancers.

Lynch syndrome (LS) individuals are predisposed to a variety of cancers, most commonly colorectal, uterine, urinary tract, ovarian, small bowel, stomach and biliary tract cancers. The risk of extracolonic manifestations appears to be highest in MSH2 mutations carriers.We present a carrier case with a novel MSH2 gene mutation that clearly demonstrates the broad extent of LS phenotypic expression and highlights several important clinical aspects. Current evidence suggests that colorectal tumors from LS patients tend to have better prognoses than their sporadic counterparts, however survival benefits for other cancers encountered in LS are unclear.In this article we describe a family with a novel protein truncating mutation of c.2388delT in the MSH2 gene, particularly focusing on one individual carrier affected with multiple primary cancers who is surviving 25 years on. Our report of multiple primary tumors occurring in the 12-25 years interval might suggest these patients do not succumb to other extracolonic cancers, provided they are regularly followed-up.

Lynch syndrome (LS), is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome. However, it is poorly characterized in Brazil. Therefore, we aimed to determine the spectrum of pathogenic variants in Mismatch Repair (MMR) genes and investigate the MLH1 promotor methylation role as a second hit in LS tumors. Read More

A 52-year-old woman who is carrier of MLH-1 mutation (HNPCC-type Lynch syndrome) with a history of a colon adenocarcinoma was diagnosed with a 26 mm lobulated contrast-capturing mass located caudally of the pancreas tail, anteromedial of the spleen and medial of the splenic colon angle. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy with resection of the tumor. Initially this mass was presumed to be a metastasis in a patient with a history of a colon adenocarcinoma. Read More

Background: Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary condition characterized by a high risk of colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and other neoplasia associated with germline alterations in DNA mismatch repair genes. The classical genetic diagnostic strategy for LS consists of the Sanger sequencing of genes associated with the suspected syndrome. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables the simultaneous sequencing of a large number of hereditary cancer genes. Read More

Disruptions in cancer screening due to the COVID-19 pandemic may disproportionally affect patients with inherited cancer predisposition syndromes, including Lynch syndrome. Herein we study the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on endoscopic surveillance in Lynch syndrome through a prospective study of Lynch syndrome patients at a tertiary referral center who were scheduled for endoscopic surveillance during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown between 3/16/2020 and 6/4/2020. Of our cohort of 302 individuals with Lynch syndrome, 34 (11%) had endoscopic procedures scheduled during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. Read More

Linker domain function predicts pathogenic MLH1 missense variants.

Authors:

Department of Cancer Biology and Genetics, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Columbus, OH 43210;

The pathogenic consequences of 369 unique human HsMLH1 missense variants has been hampered by the lack of a detailed function in mismatch repair (MMR). Here single-molecule images show that HsMSH2-HsMSH6 provides a platform for HsMLH1-HsPMS2 to form a stable sliding clamp on mismatched DNA. The mechanics of sliding clamp progression solves a significant operational puzzle in MMR and provides explicit predictions for the distribution of clinically relevant HsMLH1 missense mutations.
