Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Brazilian Patients Suspected to Have Lynch Syndrome.
Lynch syndrome (LS) accounts for 3-5% of all colorectal cancers (CRC) and is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. This syndrome is characterized by early CRC onset, high incidence of tumors in the ascending colon, excess of synchronous ...

A practical formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded (FFPE)‐based molecular workflow integrating pathology, immunohistochemistry, and genomic profiling provides clinically meaningful subgroup classification of pediatric medulloblastoma and expands molecular evidence from an underrepresented Central Asian population. Abstract Medulloblastoma is the most common

Phosphorylation-dependent signaling controls degradation of DNA mismatch repair protein PMS2 [PDF]
MutLα, a heterodimer consisting of MLH1 and PMS2, plays an important role in DNA mismatch repair and has been shown to be additionally involved in several other important cellular mechanisms. Previous work indicated that AKT could modulate PMS2 stability

PMS2 endonuclease activity has distinct biological functions and is essential for genome maintenance
The DNA mismatch repair protein PMS2 was recently found to encode a novel endonuclease activity. To determine the biological functions of this activity in mammals, we generated endonuclease-deficient Pms2

Next generation sequencing to decipher concurrent loss of PMS2 and MSH6 in colorectal cancer
Background Immunohistochemistry (IHQ) is commonly used for the detection of mismatch repair proteins deficiency (MMRD). One very infrequent abnormal pattern of MMR protein expression is the loss of PMS2 and MSH6, with intact expression of MLH1 and MSH2 ...

The added value of PMS2 immunostaining in the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. [PDF]
dentification and characterization of the genetic background in patients with the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome is important since control programmes can in a cost-effective manner prevent cancer development in high-risk ...

Cytology‐First Diagnostic Workflow for Melanoma of Unknown Primary With Molecular Profiling
Cytology‑first diagnostic workflow for melanoma of unknown primary. Fine‑needle aspiration of an enlarged lymph node enables rapid cytologic evaluation and immunocytochemical confirmation of melanocytic lineage (SOX10). This early cytologic diagnosis facilitates timely surgical excision and comprehensive genomic profiling, supporting integrated ...

Lynch Syndrome Caused by Germline PMS2 Mutations: Delineating the Cancer Risk
Purpose The clinical consequences of PMS2 germline mutations are poorly understood compared with other Lynch-associated mismatch repair gene (MMR) mutations. The aim of this European cohort study was to define the cancer risk faced by PMS2 mutation carriers.
