Management of the Case of a Young Female Patient with Multiple Malignancies and Germline R24P CDKN2A Gene Mutation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The case of a young female patient with metachronous primary melanomas, advanced breast and pancreatic cancers is reported. The 5 different tumors diagnosed within six years, were managed with curative intent. Genetic analysis revealed the mutation of the R24P CDKN2A gene in a heterozygote form in both the patient and her father. Careful tertiary prevention during the follow-up of the patient is needed.

MeduIIary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) occurs both sporadically and in the autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2 syndromes. The distinction between true sporadic MTC and a new mutation familial case is important for future clinical management of both the patient and family. The susceptibility gene for hereditary MTC is the RET proto-oncogene. DNA analysis for g...

Background The X-linked cyclin-dependent kinase like 5 (CDKL5/STK9) gene has been shown to be responsible for a severe encephalopathy condition characterized by early onset of epilepsy and severe developmental delay. CDKL5 mutations have been shown to be more frequent among female patients. Results Here we report a 6- month male patient, second child of a healthy non consanguineous in the Irani...

Background: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is one of the most serious hereditary cancer syndromes with a high risk of malignancy in childhood. This syndrome is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposing syndrome due to a germline mutation in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. Methods: In this study, a representative family case of Li-Fraumeni syndrome is described. The proband of this family ...

Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is the most common components polyposis syndromes. It incidence is for less than 1 percent of colorectal cancer cases. FAP is characterized by germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Generally, there are hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps in colon and rectum of patients. The aim of the current study was to evalua...
متن کاملGermline CDKN2A mutation implicated in predisposition to multiple myeloma.
Germline mutations of the CDKN2A (p16(INK4A)) tumor suppressor gene predispose patients to melanoma and pancreatic carcinoma. In contrast, mutations of the murine CDKN2A gene predispose BALB/c mice to pristane-induced plasmacytoma. We describe here a family in which a germline mutation of CDKN2A is present in 4 individuals who developed melanoma as well as in a fifth family member who is suffer...
