Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) are initiated by activation-induced cytosine deaminase (AID). The uracil, and potentially neighboring bases, are processed by error-prone base excision repair and mismatch repair. Deficiencies in Ung, Msh2, or Msh6 affect SHM and CSR. To determine whether Msh2/Msh6 complexes which recognize single-base mismatches and loops were th...
Functional characterization of pathogenic human MSH2 missense mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is associated with defects in DNA mismatch repair. Mutations in either hMSH2 or hMLH1 underlie the majority of HNPCC cases. Approximately 25% of annotated hMSH2 disease alleles are missense mutations, resulting in a single change out of 934 amino acids. We engineered 54 missense mutations in the cognate positions in yeast MSH2 and tested for fun...
We studied 17,576 members of 166 MLH1 and 224 MSH2 mutation-carrying families from the Colon Cancer Family Registry. Average cumulative risks of colorectal cancer (CRC), endometrial cancer (EC), and other cancers for carriers were estimated using modified segregation analysis conditioned on ascertainment criteria. Heterogeneity in risks was investigated using a polygenic risk modifier. Average ...
BACKGROUND Germline defects of mismatch repair (MMR) genes underlie Lynch Syndrome (LS). We aimed to gain comprehensive genetic and epigenetic profiles of LS families in Singapore, which will facilitate efficient molecular diagnosis of LS in Singapore and the region. METHODS Fifty nine unrelated families were studied. Mutations in exons, splice-site junctions and promoters of five MMR genes w...
We examined error-prone nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) in Msh2-deficient and wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cell lines. A DNA substrate containing a thymidine kinase (tk) gene fused to a neomycin-resistance (neo) gene was stably integrated into cells. The fusion gene was rendered nonfunctional due to a 22-bp oligonucleotide insertion, which included the 18-bp I-SceI endonuclease recognition ...
BACKGROUND DNA repair is a major defense mechanism, which contributes to the maintenance of genetic sequence, and minimizes cell death, mutation rates, replication errors, DNA damage persistence and genomic instability. Alterations in the expression levels of proteins participating in DNA repair mechanisms have been associated with several aspects of cancer biology. The present study aimed to e...
background: germline mutations in mmr genes are reported to be present in more than 70% of hnpcc cases. but, there is a paucity of data regarding the importance of defect of mmr system in the gastric cancer in general. so, in this study, we used ihc stain formlh1,msh2, pms2 andmsh6 to reveal profile ofmmr expression in patients with gastric cancer. materials and methods: this study was performe...
BACKGROUND A broad population-based assay to detect individuals with Lynch Syndrome (LS) before they develop cancer would save lives and healthcare dollars via cancer prevention. LS is caused by a germline mutation in a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene, especially protein truncation-causing mutations involving MSH2 or MLH1. We showed that immortalized lymphocytes from LS patients have reduced lev...
BACKGROUND Colorectal, endometrial and upper urinary tract tumours are characteristic for Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon carcinoma, HNPCC). The aim of the present study was to establish whether carriers of mutations in mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2 or MSH6 are at increased risk of urinary bladder cancer. METHODS Carriers and first degree relatives of 95 families with a germ...
CONTEXT Providing accurate estimates of cancer risks is a major challenge in the clinical management of Lynch syndrome. OBJECTIVE To estimate the age-specific cumulative risks of developing various tumors using a large series of families with mutations of the MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 genes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Families with Lynch syndrome enrolled between January 1, 2006, and Dece...
