A 13-year-old child presented with three simultaneous malignancies: glioblastoma multiforme, Burkitt lymphoma, and colonic adenocarcinoma. She was treated for her diseases without success and died 8 months after presentation. Genetic analysis revealed a homozygous mutation in the PMS2 gene, consistent with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency. Her siblings and parents were screened: three of four siblings and both parents were heterozygous for this mutation; the fourth sibling did not have the mutation.
一名 13 岁儿童同时患有三种恶性肿瘤:多形性胶质母细胞瘤、伯基特淋巴瘤和结肠腺癌。她接受了针对这些疾病的治疗,但未能成功,在发病 8 个月后死亡。基因分析显示她存在 PMS2 基因的纯合突变,符合先天性错配修复缺陷。对其兄弟姐妹和父母进行了筛查:她的 4 个兄弟姐妹中有 3 个为该突变的杂合子,父母双方均为该突变的杂合子;第 4 个兄弟姐妹没有该突变。
