Late presentation of cancer in compound heterozygote PMS2 mutation carrier

چکیده
Background Turcot syndrome is clinically characterized by the occurrence of primary brain tumors, colorectal cancer and/or accompanying adenomas. It has been described as both an autosomal dominant and recessive condition and mutations in APC, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2 have been reported. Constitutional Mismatch repair (CMMR) deficiency is a variant of Lynch syndrome (LS) associated with biallelic MMR mutations. Individuals present with NF1 manifestations and generally develop hematological malignancies, brain tumors and/or LS associated cancers, in the first or second decade of life. We report an individual with café au lait macules (CAL) and a history of glioblastoma at 31 and proximal colon cancer at 32. Family history includes a mother with hematologic cancers in her 60’s, maternal half uncle with colon cancer at 48, maternal half uncle with renal cancer and three maternal great uncles with colon cancer.

PMS2 mutations in childhood cancer.
Until recently, the PMS2 DNA mismatch repair gene has only rarely been implicated as a cancer susceptibility locus. New studies have shown, however, that earlier analyses of this gene have had technical limitations and also that the genetic behavior of mutant PMS2 alleles is unusual, in that, unlike MLH1 or MSH2 mutations, PMS2 mutations show low heterozygote penetrance. As a result, a dominant...

Background & objective: FMF is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by acute episodes of fever accompanied by severe abdominal pain, pleurisy, arthritis, and skin rashes. Clinical symptoms of the disease vary considerably in patients, and little is known about the origin of this variation. This study investigates a male patient suffering from severe FMF and his parents. Materia...

Background : Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease, which is characterized by recurrent short episodes of inflammation in serous membranes. It is most prevalent in Western Mediterranean population. MEFV is the only gene currently known to be associated with this disease. Previous studies revealed that 6% of Iranian Jewish residents in Israel were carriers of MEFV ...

Background : Finding an association between HFE mutations and hepatitis C especially in those with iron overload is the focus of recent researches. We examined the frequency of these mutations and ferritin level in a group of patients with different stages of hepatitis B and healthy individuals. Materials and methods : A total of 75 (18 carrier, 57 chronic) cases of HBsAg positive patients and...
متن کاملImproved Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification Analysis Identifies a Deleterious PMS2 Allele Generated by Recombination with Crossover Between PMS2 and PMS2CL
Heterozygous PMS2 germline mutations are associated with Lynch syndrome. Up to one third of these mutations are genomic deletions. Their detection is complicated by a pseudogene (PMS2CL), which--owing to extensive interparalog sequence exchange--closely resembles PMS2 downstream of exon 12. A recently redesigned multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay identifies PMS2 copy ...
