چکیده
background: hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc) is a common hereditary cancer predisposing syndrome has molecular and clinicopathological features still have remained ambiguous within iranian populations. we discuss in this article some molecular and clinicopathological features of the condition. methods: the study was a descriptive retrospective and designed on 1659 colorectal cancer (crc) patients were screened based on early-onset disease and amsterdam ii criteria during 14 years (2000-2013). immunohistochemistry (ihc) staining was set up to detect expression of mismatch repair (mmr) genes on paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 31 hnpcc-crc tumors. spss 19 software was used to analyze the data. results: ihc-mmr staining was absent in 7/31 individuals (22.6%) of which 4 cases showed ihc-absent (ihc-a) in both msh2 and msh6 (57.1%), in 2 cases both mlh1 and pms2 had negative staining (28.6%), and just in one case, msh6 was defective (14.3%). the frequency of crc among ihc-a and ihc-present (ihc-p) families was 67.5% and 27.9%, respectively. also the most frequent extracolonic cancers in ihc-a group were: stomach (10%), small bowel (5%), and prostate (5%); and in ihc-p group: stomach (18.4%), lung (10.9%), and breast (7.5%). average age of ihc-a individuals at diagnosis was 38.0 versus 45.3 years in ihc-p individuals. overall, 20.8% and 57.1% of our index crcs were localized proximal to the splenic flexure in ihc-p and ihc-a groups, respectively. conclusion: given the lack of enough information about molecular aspects of hereditary cancer syndromes like hnpcc in iran, more evaluations are necessary on larger samples using complementary techniques such as msi-testing and mutation analyses.

متن کاملtumor microsatellite instability and clinicopathologic features in iranian colorectal cancer patients at risk for lynch syndrome
background: microsatellite instability (msi) is a mutational signature that is the hallmark of lynch syndrome, and msi testing is a cost-effective method to screen the disease. since there is no enough data about msi status and associated clinicopathologic features of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc) in iran, our study is a new trial to describe them in center of iran (isfahan)...
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 کاملComprehensive molecular analysis of mismatch repair gene defects in suspected Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) cases.
An accurate algorithm is essential for effective molecular diagnosis of hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we have extended the analysis of 71 CRC cases suspected to be Lynch syndrome cases for MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, and PMS2 gene defects. All cases were screened for mutations in MSH2, MLH1, and MSH6, and all cases where tumors were available were screened for microsatellite instability (MSI)...
متن کاملEarly-onset colorectal cancer patients without family history are “at very low risk” for lynch syndrome
INTRODUCTION Several studies evaluated the prevalence of Lynch Syndrome (LS) in young onset colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and the results were extremely variable (5%-20%). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for MMR proteins and/or MSI analysis are screening tests that are done, either by themselves or in conjunction, on colon cancer tissue to identify individuals at risk for LS. The primary aim of o...
متن کاملTobacco use and increased colorectal cancer risk in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome).
BACKGROUND The marked variability in age at onset of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) makes management decisions difficult. Environmental factors governing the phenotypic variability of cancer-associated syndromes such as HNPCC have not been elucidated. METHODS We determined whether tobacco use would alter CRC risk in carriers of HNPCC...
