Germline haploinsufficiency for the base excision repair gene <i>MUTYH</i> causes mutational signature SBS18 in multiple tumour types, specifically leading to an increased risk of colorectal cancer

2025-11-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4> Abstract </h4> The MUTYH base excision repair protein corrects oxidative DNA damage. Bi-allelic germline MUTYH mutations cause a rare, Mendelian recessive syndrome of colorectal adenomas, duodenal polyps and colorectal cancer (CRC), in which tumours have excess somatic C:G>A:T mutations and the mutational signature SBS36. Signature SBS18, which resembles SBS36, is common in sporadic CRCs and other cancers....
