Pediatric duodenal cancer and biallelic mismatch repair gene mutations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastrointestinal malignancies are extremely rare in the pediatric population, and duodenal cancers represent an even more unusual entity. Intestinal cancers in young adults and children have been observed to be associated with functional deficiencies of the mismatch repair (MMR) system causing a cancer-predisposition syndrome. We report the case of a 16-year-old female with duodenal adenocarcinoma and past history of medulloblastoma found to have a novel germline bialleleic truncating mutation (c.[949C>T]+[949C>T]) of the PMS2 gene.

Constitutional Mismatch Repair-Deficiency Syndrome Is a Rare Cause of Cancer Even in a Highly Consanguineous Population
Biallelic germline mutations in the mismatch repair genes, including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2, lead to a recessive constitutional mismatch repair-deficiency (CMMR-D) syndrome characterized by early onset malignancies in children and young adults. Because consanguinity unmasks autosomal recessive disorders, we hypothesized that the frequency of CMMR-D is inflated in the highly consanguineous pop...

Abstract Background: Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer is the most common cause of early onset of hereditary colorectal cancer. In the majority of Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer families, microsatellite instability and germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes in clouding MSH2, MLH1, MSH6 and PMS2 are found. The Objective of this study was to determine th...
متن کاملOncologic surveillance for subjects with biallelic mismatch repair gene mutations-10 year follow-up in a kindred
Background Lynch syndrome (LS) is caused by heterozygous germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes and is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant condition. A novel childhood cancer syndrome caused by biallelic germline MMR gene mutations and characterized by brain tumors, leukemias, gastrointestinal (GI) polyposis, GI cancer and café-au-lait spots (CALS) has been described. We re...
متن کاملOncologic surveillance for subjects with biallelic mismatch repair gene mutations: 10 year follow-up of a kindred.
BACKGROUND Heterozygous germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes cause Lynch syndrome. Biallelic MMR mutations cause a distinct syndrome characterized by brain tumors, lymphoid malignancies, and gastrointestinal cancers during childhood. These children usually succumb to multiple cancers before adulthood. We developed a surveillance protocol aiming at early detection for these indi...
متن کاملMUTYH Mutations Do Not Cause HNPCC or Late Onset Familial Colorectal Cancer
Recently, carriers of biallelic mutations in the base excision repair gene MUTYH, have been demonstrated to have a predisposition for multiple adenomas and colorectal cancer. Still, many questions remain unanswered concerning MUTYH. We have addressed the following: Do biallelic MUTYH mutation carriers invariably demonstrate FAP, and may MUTYH be a gene causing HNPCC, HNPCC-like or dominantly in...
