If one of these proteins was not detectable in the tumor mutation analysis of the corresponding gene was carried out. Results We identified 6 frameshift mutations (2 in MLH1, 3 in MSH2, 1 in MSH6) resulting in a premature stop: two mutations in MLH1 (c.2198_2199insAACA [p.N733fsX745...
The mutational spectrum of the MMR genes shows no predominant type of mutation. Furthermore, the mutations are spread throughout the length of the genes, with no significant hot spots. Identification of MMR genes as the cause of HNPCC made presymptomatic diagnosis a reality. However, the ...

Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. This means that if only one parent carries the mutation for Lynch syndrome, there’s a 50 percent chance a child of the parents will inherit the mutation.Individuals diagnosed with Lynch syndrome should tell their family members and encourage them...
Mutation within MSH2 and MLH1 are the most frequent cause of Lynch syndrome [7-10]. Characteristic clinical features of Lynch syndrome include:? early age of CRC diagnosis (about 45 years),? more frequent right side tumour localization,? two or more CRC cases among first degree relatives,?
Results: The cost-effectiveness of genetic testing was compared in first-degree relatives of known mutation carriers who have a 50% risk of carrying the ... N Breheny,E Geelhoed,J Goldblatt,... - 《Community Genetics》 被引量: 42发表: 2006年 Use of gene tests to detect hereditary predis...

The detection of a mutation in one of the responsible mismatch repair gene confirmed the diagnosis HNPCC. Here we demonstrate our experience of some important pitfalls that will be discussed in this study. In MSI testing, one potential source for false-negative results is intralesional heterogeneity...
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutation in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) which predisposes to colorectal cancer and other malignances, that not yet include sarcomas. For sustaining that soft tissue sarcomas ...
