Insertion of an SVA Element in MSH2 as a Novel Cause of Lynch Syndrome
2020-11-24
Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes cause Lynch syndrome (LS). Insertions of retrotransposons in MMR genes have been reported as a rare cause of LS. Here, we present a novel SINE-VNTR-Alu (SVA) insertion in exon 12 of MSH2 in an individual with early-onset colorectal cancer and strong LS family history. RT-PCR analysis indicated a larger aberrant MSH2 transcript in one of the family members....
