  • Molekularnogenetski pristop za presejanje dednega nepolipoznega kolorektalnega karcinoma = Molecular genetic approach for screening of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer
    Ravnik-Glavač, Metka
    Background. The main goal of knowledge concerning human diseases is to transfer as much as possible useful information into clinical applications. Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) ... is the most common autosomal dominant inherited predisposition for colorectal cancer, accounting for 1-2% of all bowel cancer. The only way to diagnose HNPCC is by a family history consistent with the disease defined by International Collaborative Group on HNPCC (Amsterdam criteria I and II). The main nolecular cause of HNPCC is a constitutional mutation in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Since HNPCC mutations have been detected also in families that did not fulfil the Amsterdam Criteria, molecular genetic characteristics of HNPCC cancers have been proposed as valuable first step in HNPCC identification. Microsatellite instability is present in about 90% of cancers of HNPCC patients. However, of all MSI colorectal cancers 80-90% are sporadic. Several molecular mechanisms have been uncovered that enable distinguishing to some extent between sporadic and HNPCC cancers with MSI including hypermethylation of hMLH1 promoter and frequent mutations in BAX and TGFBR2 in sporadic CRC with MSI-H. Conclusions. The determination of MSI status and careful separation of MSI positive colorectal cancer into sporadic MSI-L, sporadic MSI-H, and HNPCC MSI-H followed by mutation detection in MMR genes is important for prevention, screening and management of colorectal cancer. In some studies we and others have already shown that large-scale molecular genetic analysis for HNPCC can be done and is sensitive enough to approve population screening. Population screening includes also colonoscopy which is restricted only to the obligate carriers of the mutation. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
