Case Report of Menopausal Woman Diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer after Colon Cancer with Germline Mutation in MSH6 in Korea
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of an endometrial cancer patient with germline mutation in MutS homolog 6 (MSH6), associated with Lynch syndrome. A 60-year-old Korean woman had a personal history of colon cancer 23 years ago. She also had a family history of endometrial cancer and colon cancer of her sisters and brothers. Immunohistochemistry was negative for MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) and positive for MutS homolog 2 (MSH2). Based on these findings, she underwent genetic counseling and testing that revealed a frameshift germline mutation at MSH6 (c. 3261dupC).

Lynch syndrome is a genetic malignancy syndrome affecting the colon, endometrium, and other organs. It is difficult to find a Lynch syndrome patient without any family history of cancer. We have recently examined an endometrial cancer patient with a MSH2 gene mutation without a family history of cancer. A 55-year old Korean woman was admitted to a local clinic for vaginal bleeding. An endometri...

متن کاملONLINE MUTATION REPORT No MSH6 germline mutations in breast cancer families with colorectal and/or endometrial cancer
Background: The genetic background in breast cancer families with colorectal and/or endometrial cancer is mostly unknown. The functional connection between MSH6 and the known breast cancer predisposition gene product BRCA1 suggests that the MSH6 gene may also play a role in breast cancer predisposition. Methods: We analysed 38 breast cancer families with colorectal and/or endometrial cancer for...

Background Inherited cancer syndromes associated with acoustic neuroma (i.e. neurofibromatosis 2-NF2), pheochromocytoma (i.e. Von Hippel Lindau, NFl, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes, and hereditary paraganglioma syndrome), and colon cancer are well known. Lynch syndrome is the most common hereditary colon cancer syndrome and is caused by DNA mismatch repair dysfunction secondary to inher...
متن کاملMethylation Analysis of DNA Mismatch Repair Genes Using DNA Derived from the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Endometrial Cancer: Epimutation in Endometrial Carcinogenesis
Germline mutation of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes is a cause of Lynch syndrome. Methylation of MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) and MutS homolog 2 (MSH2) has been detected in peripheral blood cells of patients with colorectal cancer. This methylation is referred to as epimutation. Methylation of these genes has not been studied in an unselected series of endometrial cancer cases. Therefore, we examined...
