germline mutation in an MMR gene (MutL protein homolog 1 [MLH1], MutS protein homolog 2 [MSH2], MutS protein homolog 2 [MSH6], and PMS homolog 2 [PMS2]), that is, Lynch syndrome, or more commonly owing to epigenetic inactivation of the MLH1 gene and the CpG island methylator ...

Lynch syndrome (LS) can be strictly defined by the presence of pathogenic germline mutation in one of the four major DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. This deficiency in MMR function (dMMR) confers a significantly elevated lifetime risk of CRC to patients with ...
The best fitting major gene model was a recessively-inherited risk of 98% to age 70 (95% CI = 24-100%) carried by 0.17% of the population and would explain 15% of all colorectal cancer in cases with a diagnosis before age 45. Early-onset colorectal cancer is strongly familial even ...

Detection of MMR gene deletion can indirectly reflect the status of MSI. IHC, a method, is adopted to detect the expression of MMR protein which consists of hMLH1, hPMS2, hMSH2 and hMSH6 [12]. If the result shows that any of the above MMR protein expression is absent, it means MMR...
Type 3 is a cluster composed of high mutation burden tumors with MMR signature and mutations in MSH2 and MLH1 genes. In these tumors, PTEN mutation frequently coexists with NF1 and RB1 mutations. Amplification of chromosome 4q12 (including KIT, KDR, PDGFR genes) or 9p24.1 (including the ...
Somatic gene mutation is not the only mechanism of biallelic inactivation. Some TSGs can be inactivated through a combination of LOH and promoter hypermethylation, for example MLH1. This methylation can be acquired somatically or may be a consequence of imprinting. We assessed this possibility using ...
The first one (9% of cases) is called “EBV-related”, because it is characterized by Epstein Barr virus infection in the cancer cells: these tumors are mainly located in the gastric fundus or body and show extensive DNA promoter hypermethylation (a marker of “gene silencing”). Moreover,...
Recent molecular studies in type I ovarian carcinomas identified somatic mutations in ARID1A, KRAS, PTEN, PIK3CA, MLH1, and B catenin [46,47]. In addition, TP53, BCL2, and POLE mutations have also been described [48,49]. In contrast, most type II tumors are characterized mainly by TP53...
