Prevalence of MSI‐H/dMMR Colorectal Cancer in Japan: Data From the Clinical Study Group of the University of Osaka‐Colorectal Registry

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Using a multicenter Japanese colorectal cancer cohort from 25 institutions, we analyzed 1464 patients across all disease stages and tumor locations to determine the prevalence and clinicopathological features of MSI‐H/dMMR colorectal cancer. MSI‐H/dMMR tumors accounted for 9.4% of cases overall, were present in 22% of right‐sided colon cancers, and ...

Differentiating Lynch-Like From Lynch Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesGastroenterology, 2014
Lynch syndrome is a hereditary condition found in ~3% of all colorectal cancer patients and is defined by germline inactivation in one of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes (hMSH2, hMLH1, hMSH6, hPMS2) (1,2). One allele is inactivated in every cell in a Lynch syndrome patient most commonly by pathogenic mutation or deletion of hMSH2 or hMLH1, or less ...

Unraveling a Diagnostic Enigma: A TECPR2 Case Solved Through Multi‐Omic Genomics

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TECPR2 is a key regulator of autophagy, encoded by the TECPR2 gene. Pathogenic variants in this gene have been linked to a rare hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy with intellectual disability (HSAN9). We report a teenage female with a syndromic intellectual disability disorder associated with neuromuscular abnormalities.
