Mismatch repair genes founder mutations and cancer susceptibility in Lynch syndrome.
Founder mutations in specific populations are common in several Mendelian disorders. They are shared by apparently unrelated families that inherited them from a common ancestor that existed hundreds to thousands of years ago. They have been proven to impact in molecular diagnostics strategies in specific populations, where they can be assessed as the first screening step and, if positive, avoid...
متن کاملMismatch repair genes in Lynch syndrome: a review.
Lynch syndrome represents 1-7% of all cases of colorectal cancer and is an autosomal-dominant inherited cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline mutations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair genes. Since the discovery of the major human genes with DNA mismatch repair function, mutations in five of them have been correlated with susceptibility to Lynch syndrome: mutS homolog ...
متن کاملFrequent mismatch-repair defects link prostate cancer to Lynch syndrome.
BACKGROUND A possible role for prostate cancer in Lynch syndrome has been debated based on observations of mismatch-repair defective tumors and reports of an increased risk of prostate cancer in mutation carriers. Potential inclusion of prostate cancer in the Lynch syndrome tumor spectrum is relevant for family classification, risk estimates and surveillance recommendations in mutation carriers...

متن کاملStreamlining the use of IHC in identifying germline mismatch repair mutations in Lynch syndrome
We present the case of a 20 year old man who presented to the emergency department of Craigavon Hospital with a one day history of abdominal pain and dyspnoea. He had been involved in a motorcycle accident three days previously and sustained a soft tissue injury to his left leg. Examination revealed lower abdominal tenderness and left calf swelling. Blood pressure was 140/53mmHg and oxygen satu...
