Microsatellite instability (MSI) is due to defective DNA mismatch repair and is characteristic of HNPCC tumours.
The role of MSI in familial predisposition to colorectal cancer was investigated in this study by microsatellite analysis among familial cases.
PCR-based microsatellite analysis was performed in blood obtained from 30 members from HNPCC families. Blood samples age matched healthy individuals (n = 28) served as control. MSI was studied at five loci containing single- or dinucleotide repeat sequences and mapping to different chromosomal locations: BAT-25 (at locus 4q12), BAT-26 (2p16), D2S123 (2p16-p21), D5S346 (5q21-q22) and D17S250 (17q11.2-q12).
MSI frequency was higher in member of HNPCC families (40%) than in control (10.7%) cases. Out of the 30 samples tested, 12 were found to be MSI positive, 9 MSI high and 3 MSI low.
The present study suggest that microsatellite instability seem to be a risk factor of colorectal cancer in subjects belonged to HNPCC families with high incidence of this cancer.
微卫星不稳定性(MSI)是由于DNA错配修复缺陷所致,是遗传性非息肉病性结直肠癌(HNPCC)肿瘤的特征。
本研究通过对家族性病例进行微卫星分析,探讨MSI在家族性结直肠癌易感性中的作用。
对30名HNPCC家族成员的血液进行基于聚合酶链反应(PCR)的微卫星分析。年龄匹配的健康个体(n = 28)的血液样本作为对照。在五个包含单核苷酸或二核苷酸重复序列且定位于不同染色体位置的位点研究MSI:BAT-25(位于4q12位点)、BAT-26(2p16)、D2S123(2p16-p21)、D5S346(5q21-q22)和D17S250(17q11.2-q12)。
HNPCC家族成员的MSI频率(40%)高于对照组(10.7%)。在检测的30个样本中,12个被发现为MSI阳性,9个为高MSI,3个为低MSI。
本研究表明,微卫星不稳定性似乎是结直肠癌高发的HNPCC家族成员患结直肠癌的一个危险因素。
