We present a three-generation family with an AXIN2 variant and a family history of colorectal cancer (CRC), colon polyps and tooth agenesis. A likely pathogenic variant was detected in the AXIN2 gene (c.1994dup; p.(Asn666Glnfs*41)). This variant has previously been associated with tooth agenesis and polyposis, only. In this case report we describe eight carriers with tooth agenesis and variable clinical findings, including polyps and CRC. Our case provides additional knowledge to the sparse data on genotype-phenotype association related to AXIN2 associated cancer syndrome. Further, our case highlights the importance of analysing an extended CRC and oligodontia/ectodermal dysplasia gene panel including AXIN2 but also raises awareness and discussion about appropriate surveillance program.
我们报告了一个三代家系,该家系携带 AXIN2 变异,并有结直肠癌(CRC)、结肠息肉和牙齿缺失的家族史。在 AXIN2 基因中检测到一个可能的致病性变异(c.1994dup;p.(Asn666Glnfs*41))。该变异之前与牙齿缺失和息肉病有关,但与 CRC 无关。在本病例报告中,我们描述了 8 名携带该变异的患者,他们有牙齿缺失和不同的临床表现,包括息肉和 CRC。我们的病例为 AXIN2 相关癌症综合征的基因型-表型相关性提供了更多的稀疏数据,此外,我们的病例还强调了分析包括 AXIN2 在内的扩展 CRC 和少牙症/外胚层发育不良基因谱的重要性,但也提高了对适当监测计划的认识和讨论。
