PMS2 amplification contributes brain metastasis from lung cancer
Background Lung adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the brain results in a notable increase in patient mortality. The high incidence and its impact on survival presents a critical unmet need to develop an improved understanding of its mechanisms.

The Initiation and Progression of Neoplasia in Inherited and Sporadic Colorectal Cancer. [PDF]
PhDThis dissertation describes investigations into aspects of neoplastic initiation and progression in the gut, in the context of inherited and sporadic gastrointestinal cancer. In familial adenomatous polyposis, there is marked locoregional variation

BackgroundDNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency (dMMR) has been recognized as an important biomarker for immunotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), along with programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and/or tumor-infiltrated ...

PMS2 mutations in childhood cancer [PDF]
We refer to the recent paper by Durno et al “Family history and molecular features of children, adolescents, and young adults with colorectal carcinoma” ( Gut 2005; 54 :1146–50). Among other patients with early onset colorectal cancer (CRC), the authors discuss a girl with CRC onset at the age of 12 years, and a subsequent second primary tumour ...

AbstractPMS2 germline pathogenic variants are one of the major causes for Lynch syndrome and constitutional mismatch repair deficiencies. Variant identification in the 3′ region of this gene is complicated by the presence of the pseudogene PMS2CL which shares a high sequence homology with PMS2.

Potential predictors for CDX2 expression loss and mismatch repair deficiency in colorectal cancer
CDX2 expression loss is commonly associated with mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there are only a few studies that have attempted to correlate CDX2 expression loss with specific MMR genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 ...

C-terminal fluorescent labeling impairs functionality of DNA mismatch repair proteins [PDF]
The human DNA mismatch repair (MMR) process is crucial to maintain the integrity of the genome and requires many different proteins which interact perfectly and coordinated.
