Cancer risks for MSH6 pathogenic variant carriers
Introduction Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by pathogenic variants (PVs) in DNA mismatch repair genes, including MSH6 . Although MSH6 -associated LS (MSH6 -LS) is known to increase the risk of several cancers, precise risk ...

Loss of MSH2 and MSH6 due to heterozygous germline defects in MSH3 and MSH6.
Lynch Syndrome (LS) is the most common dominantly inherited colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition and is caused by a heterozygous germline defect in one of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2.

Immunohistochemical Expression of MSH2 and MSH6 Mismatch Repair Proteins and Their Pathological Correlations in Canine Primary Pulmonary Carcinoma [PDF]
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) proteins have been investigated as biomarkers in human oncology, but their role in canine PPCs has not been characterized.

Unique circulating miRNAome signatures captured with distinct molecular states in Lynch syndrome and sporadic colorectal cancer [PDF]
Circulating microRNA profiles distinguish nonmalignant Lynch syndrome from cancer‐associated Lynch syndrome, sporadic colorectal cancer, and healthy controls. Age‐stratified analysis reveals disease‐specific regulatory states, and a six‐miRNA panel shows concordant separation in an independent colorectal tissue cohort.

Prostatic Adenosquamous Carcinoma With a Minute Squamous Component in the Initial Biopsy and Early Liver Metastasis: A Case Report [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction We report a case of de novo prostatic adenosquamous carcinoma with a minute squamous component in the initial biopsy and early liver metastasis despite a marked prostate‐specific antigen response. Case Presentation A 72‐year‐old man was diagnosed with locally advanced prostate cancer with nodal and multiple bone metastases ...

Nearly one-third of the identified MSH6 germline mutations deal with single amino acid substitutions. For an effective genetic counselling it is necessary to clearly elucidate by functional tools the specific sub-processes underlying the mismatch repair (

The DNA mismatch repair protein, MSH6 is a novel regulator of PD-L1 expression [PDF]
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are extremely effective in a subgroup of mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) cancers, but ∼50% remain resistant to treatment. We have shown for the first time that this may be due to the differential regulation of factors

Outcomes of ‘in‐house’ genetic testing within a specialist hereditary colorectal cancer registry [PDF]
Abstract Aims Approximately 5%–10% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are due to known Mendelian syndromes. This study aimed to report the diagnostic yield of constitutional genetic testing, alongside clinicopathological factors for hereditary CRC, within a specialised National Bowel Hospital, and outside traditional genetics referral pathways.
