Muir-Torre Syndrome: case report and molecular characterization
CONTEXT: Muir-Torre syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in the mismatch repair genes. It is characterized by the presence of sebaceous skin tumors and internal malignancies, affecting mainly the colon, rectum and ...

Genetic testing among high-risk individuals in families with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer [PDF]
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is frequently associated with constitutional mutations in a class of genes involved in DNA mismatch repair.

The microbiome, an environmental factor, can contribute to DNA damage and affect mutation accumulation. Infections with genotoxin‐producing pathobionts can induce inflammation and oxidative stress through reactive nitrogen and oxygen species, which may influence MSI.

Patients recruited from the oncogenetic department with multiple cancers (348) were more likely to carry pathogenic mutations than those with a single cancer (1422) (27.3% vs. 13.39% p < 0.001). However, if the multiple primary cancers cannot be linked to the same hereditary predisposition syndrome, the prevalence of pathogenic variants is not ...

What's new? In high‐risk families, endometrial cancer appears to be mainly triggered by pathogenic variants in mismatch repair genes, and breast cancer by pathogenic variants in homology‐directed repair genes. However, the two pathways are not mutually exclusive.

A dualistic model of primary anal canal adenocarcinoma with distinct cellular origins, etiologies, inflammatory microenvironments and mutational signatures: implications for personalised medicine. [PDF]
Primary adenocarcinoma of the anal canal is a rare and aggressive gastrointestinal disease with unclear pathogenesis. Because of its rarity, no clear clinical practice guideline has been defined and a targeted therapeutic armamentarium has yet to be ...

Lack of microsatellite instability in gastrointestinal stromal tumors [PDF]
The microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype may constitute an important biomarker for patient response to immunotherapy, particularly to anti-programmed death-1 inhibitors. MSI is a type of genomic instability caused by a defect in DNA mismatch repair

Exploring the Common Mutational Landscape in Cutaneous Melanoma and Pancreatic Cancer
ABSTRACT Cutaneous melanoma (CM) and pancreatic cancer are aggressive tumors whose incidences are rapidly increasing in the last years. This review aims to provide a complete and update description about mutational landscape in CM and pancreatic cancer, focusing on similarities of these two apparently so different tumors in terms of site, type of cell ...

What's new? Lynch syndrome (LS) detection typically centers on immunohistochemistry (IHC) of mismatch repair proteins, with subsequent detection of MLH1 promoter hypermethylation or BRAF p.V600E. In China, however, BRAF p.V600E incidence is relatively low.
