PMS2 Mutations in Childhood Cancer [PDF]
Until recently, the PMS2 DNA mismatch repair gene has only rarely been implicated as a cancer susceptibility locus. New studies have shown, however, that earlier analyses of this gene have had technical limitations and also that the genetic behavior of mutant PMS2 alleles is unusual, in that, unlike MLH1 or MSH2 mutations, PMS2 mutations show low ...

Cancer Risks for PMS2-Associated Lynch Syndrome [PDF]
Purpose Lynch syndrome due to pathogenic variants in the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 is predominantly associated with colorectal and endometrial cancer, although extracolonic cancers have been described within the Lynch tumor spectrum. However, the age-specific cumulative risk (penetrance) of these cancers is still poorly defined for

Improved multiplex ligation‐dependent probe amplification analysis identifies a deleterious PMS2 allele generated by recombination with crossover between PMS2 and PMS2CL [PDF]
AbstractHeterozygous PMS2 germline mutations are associated with Lynch syndrome. Up to one third of these mutations are genomic deletions. Their detection is complicated by a pseudogene (PMS2CL), which – owing to extensive interparalog sequence exchange – closely resembles PMS2 downstream of exon 12.

PMS2 involvement in patients suspected of Lynch syndrome
AbstractIt is well‐established that germline mutations in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 cause Lynch syndrome. However, mutations in these three genes do not account for all Lynch syndrome (suspected) families. Recently, it was shown that germline mutations in another mismatch repair gene, PMS2, play a far more important role in Lynch ...

Stabilization of mismatch repair gene PMS2 by glycogen synthase kinase 3β is implicated in the treatment of cervical carcinoma [PDF]
Background PMS2 expression loss was reported in a variety of human. However, its importance has not been fully understood in cervical carcinoma. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of PMS2 in cervical carcinoma and evaluate the ...

Genotype-phenotype correlations in PMS2-associated constitutional mismatch repair deficiency: a systematic literature review [PDF]
Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is a rare pediatric cancer predisposition syndrome primarily characterised by central nervous system (CNS), gastro-intestinal (GI) tumours and hematological malignancies, along with NF1-like cutaneous ...

Germline mutations inPMS2andMLH1in individuals with solitary loss of PMS2 expression in colorectal carcinomas from the Colon Cancer Family Registry Cohort [PDF]
ObjectivesImmunohistochemistry for DNA mismatch repair proteins is used to screen for Lynch syndrome in individuals with colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Although solitary loss of PMS2 expression is indicative of carrying a germline mutation inPMS2, previous studies reportedMLH1mutation in some cases. We determined the prevalence ofMLH1germline mutations in

Recurrent and founder mutations in the
Germline mutations in PMS2 are associated with Lynch syndrome (LS), the most common known cause of hereditary colorectal cancer. Mutation detection in PMS2 has been difficult due to the presence of several pseudogenes, but a custom‐designed long‐range PCR strategy now allows adequate mutation detection. Many mutations are unique.
