We identified a Japanese patient with Lynch syndrome with a novel large germline deletion of chromosome 2p16-21, including the EPCAM, MSH2, and KCNK12 genes. The proband was a 46-year-old man with ascending colon cancer. The clinical significance of germline KCNK12 gene deletion, which encodes one of the subfamilies of two-pore-domain potassium channels, is still unknown.
我们鉴定出一名患有林奇综合征的日本患者,其2号染色体p16 - 21区域存在一个新的大片段种系缺失,包括EPCAM、MSH2和KCNK12基因。先证者是一名46岁的升结肠癌男性。种系KCNK12基因缺失的临床意义仍不清楚,该基因编码双孔域钾通道亚家族之一。
