ABSTRACT Colonic adenomatous polyposis is most commonly caused by germline pathogenic variants in the APC gene; however, recent genetic studies have identified patients without APC mutations. AXIN2‐associated colonic polyposis is a rare condition related to dysregulation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway. Most reported cases have involved germline

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).

The WHO Classification of Genetic Tumour Syndromes: Considerations for Genetics
The WHO Classification of Tumours underpins the diagnosis of neoplastic conditions. The new WHO classification of genetic tumour syndromes (GTS) provides international standards for their diagnosis. This diagram highlights the chromosomal distribution of the genes involved in the GTS covered in this classification.

Functional analysis of cancer‐associated variants of the DNA repair enzyme MUTYH in the interdomain connector between the 8‐oxoguanine (OG) recognition and base excision domains reveals discordance between in vitro assays and OG:A repair in cells. This disconnect highlights the use of complementary biochemical and cellular assays to accurately classify

ABSTRACT Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing in Africa, yet reports in children and adolescents are limited. We describe the epidemiology, management, and survival outcomes of CRC in African children. Methods Retrospective data of children under 19 years diagnosed with CRC between 2000 and 2023 were collected from 14 African countries ...

The impact of chromoendoscopy for surveillance of the duodenum in patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis and familial adenomatous polyposis [PDF]
Duodenal polyposis and cancer have become a key issue for patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP). Almost all patients with FAP will develop duodenal adenomas, and 5% will develop cancer. The incidence of duodenal adenomas in MAP appears to be lower than in FAP, but the limited available data suggest a ...

Impact of Multigene Panel Testing in High‐Risk Uveal Melanoma Patients
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) provides clear criteria for genetic testing among uveal melanoma (UM) patients. However, the efficacy of these guidelines to detect variants in actionable cancer genes has not been evaluated recently. Additionally, comprehensive panel testing has not been broadly standardized across genetic counseling ...
