Loss of MSH6 and PMS2 immunohistochemical staining in tumour tissue of two individuals with a germline PMS2 mutation [PDF]
Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome which is caused by a germline mutation in one of four genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2. Individuals with a germline mutation in one of these genes are at increased lifetime risk of colon, endometrial, ovarian, small intestine, renal pelvis and ureter.

Two stochastic sensors were characterized and validated for the molecular identification and quantification of MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 and KRAS in biological samples using two types of doped-graphene modified with maltodextrin.

The coding microsatellite mutation profile of PMS2-deficient colorectal cancer [PDF]
Lynch syndrome (LS) is caused by a pathogenic heterozygous germline variant in one of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes: MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2. LS-associated colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) are characterized by MMR deficiency and by accumulation of ...

Novel roles for MLH3 deficiency and TLE6-like amplification in DNA mismatch repair-deficient gastrointestinal tumorigenesis and progression. [PDF]
DNA mismatch repair suppresses gastrointestinal tumorgenesis. Four mammalian E. coli MutL homologues heterodimerize to form three distinct complexes: MLH1/PMS2, MLH1/MLH3, and MLH1/PMS1.

PMS2 expression decrease causes severe problems in mismatch repair [PDF]
PMS2 is one of the four susceptibility genes in Lynch syndrome (LS), the most common cancer syndrome in the world. Inherited mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6, account for approximately 90% of LS, while a relatively small

Clinical characteristics of patients with PMS2 mutations
Background: Lynch syndrome is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by mutations in mismatch repair genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. The cancer risks and clinical presentation of PMS2 associated Lynch syndrome is not well defined.

Background Hereditary cancer screening (HCS) for germline variants in the 3′ exons of PMS2, a mismatch repair gene implicated in Lynch syndrome, is technically challenging due to homology with its pseudogene PMS2CL.

Objective: Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder that increases the risk of cancers in many sites. In women, endometrial cancer is often a sentinel tumor and thus immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and ...
