Association of a novel point mutation in MSH2 gene with familial multiple primary cancers

open access: yesJournal of Hematology & Oncology, 2017
Background Multiple primary cancers (MPC) have been identified as two or more cancers without any subordinate relationship that occur either simultaneously or metachronously in the same or different organs of an individual. Lynch syndrome is an autosomal

Comprehensive characterization of CRC with germline mutations reveals a distinct somatic mutational landscape and elevated cancer risk in the Chinese population

open access: yesCancer Biology & Medicine, 2022
Objective: Hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for approximately 5%–10% of all CRC cases. The full profile of CRC-related germline mutations and the corresponding somatic mutational profile have not been fully determined in the Chinese population.

How does genetic risk information for Lynch syndrome translate to risk management behaviours? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background There is limited research on why some individuals who have undergone predictive genetic testing for Lynch syndrome do not adhere to screening recommendations.

A Randomized Phase II Study of Subcutaneous Mosunetuzumab in Combination With Polatuzumab Vedotin Compared With Rituximab Plus Polatuzumab Vedotin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Large B‐Cell Lymphoma

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mosunetuzumab plus polatuzumab vedotin has shown promising activity versus rituximab plus polatuzumab vedotin (R‐Pola) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B‐cell lymphoma (LBCL; NCT03671018). We present results from the Phase II randomized cohort, evaluating subcutaneous mosunetuzumab plus polatuzumab vedotin (Mosun‐Pola), with ...

Biallelic Germline Inactivation of HROB Causes Primary Gonadal Insufficiency and is Potentially Associated with Colonic Polyposis Predisposition

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Homologous Recombination Factor With OB‐Fold (HROB) plays a role in homologous recombination and DNA replication, where it enhances the MCM8‐MCM9 helicase complex activity. Recent findings link biallelic germline HROB variants to primary gonadal insufficiency (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism), a phenotype also associated with MCM8/MCM9 ...

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.

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 ...

Lynch-like Syndrome: Potential Mechanisms and Management

open access: yes, 2022
Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system genes, such as MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2. It is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome.

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...
