Genomic alteration in hereditary colorectal patients without mutations in mismatch repair genes

Genomic alteration in hereditary colorectal patients without mutations in mismatch repair genes

Results It was found 252 CNVs (4.4 ± 3.6 CNVs/individual), including 104 genomic gains and 148 losses. After comparison with a reference group, composed of 100 healthy Brazilian women (Krepischi et al., 2012) and the Database of Genomic Variants (DGV-hg18), 106 rare CNVs were identified in 41 cases and 10 new rare CNVs in six cases. Four rare CNVs, of the same size, were detected in at least th...

Prognostic impact of mismatch repair genes germline defects in colorectal cancer patients: are all mutations equal?

BACKGROUND Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) syndrome, caused by germline mutations in MisMatch Repair (MMR) genes, particularly in MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6. Patients with LS seem to have a more favourable prognosis than those with sporadic CRC, although the prognostic impact of different mutation types is unknown. Aim of our study is to compare survival outco...

سه موتاسیون ژرم لاین جدید در ژن MLH1 در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان کولورکتال ارثی

Abstract Background: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer is the most common cause of early onset of hereditary colorectal cancer. In the majority of Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer families, microsatellite instability and germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes in clouding MSH2, MLH1, MSH6 and PMS2 are found. The Objective of this study was to determine th...

Germ line mutations of mismatch repair genes in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer patients with small bowel cancer: International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours Collaborative Study.

PURPOSE The aim of study was to determine the clinical characteristics and mutational profiles of the mismatch repair genes in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients with small bowel cancer (SBC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A questionnaire was mailed to 55 members of the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours, requesting information regarding patients with ...
