No Difference in Penetrance between Truncating and Missense/Aberrant Splicing Pathogenic Variants in MLH1 and MSH2: A Prospective Lynch Syndrome Data…

2021

Background. Lynch syndrome is the most common genetic predisposition for hereditary cancer. Carriers of pathogenic changes in mismatch repair (MMR) genes have an increased risk of developing colorectal (CRC), endometrial, ovarian, urinary tract, prostate, and other cancers, depending on which gene is malfunctioning. In Lynch syndrome, differences in cancer incidence (penetrance) according to the gene involved have led to the stratification of cancer surveillance. By contrast, any differences in penetrance determined by the type of pathogenic variant remain unknown. Objective. To determine cumulative incidences of cancer in carriers of truncating and missense or aberrant splicing pathogenic …

Impact of Different Selection Approaches for Identifying Lynch Syndrome-Related Colorectal Cancer Patients: Unity Is Strength

2022

Lynch syndrome (LS) is an inherited genetic condition associated with increased predisposition to colorectal cancer (CRC) and other tumors and is caused by germline mutations in Mismatch Repair (MMR) or EPCAM genes. The identification of LS carriers is currently based on germline testing of subjects with MMR-deficient (dMMR) tumors or fulfilling clinical criteria, but the most efficient strategies to select patients who should be offered genetic testing are yet not well defined. In order to assess the most suitable selection mode to identify LS-related CRC patients, we retrospectively collected and analyzed all clinical and molecular information of 854 CRC patients, recruited from 2013 to 2…
