Abstract

Lynch syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germline pathogenic variants of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. To diagnose LS, the microsatellite instability (MSI) test or immunohistochemistry of MMR enzymes is used as a conventional clinical screening method for all patients with colorectal and endometrial cancers. Recently, patients with advanced-stage cancers have undergone comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP), which is useful not only for the detection of molecularly targeted personalized therapies, but also for the screening of hereditary cancer syndromes by determining presumed germline pathogenic variants (PGPVs). Between January 2020 and April 2024, 1583 patients underwent CGP at our institute. PGPVs in MMR genes were detected in 19 patients. Although one patient died prior to the disclosure of the results and eight patients declined confirmatory genetic testing, the remaining ten patients underwent confirmatory genetic tests, of whom six were found to have a hereditary origin. Two additional patients were diagnosed with LS using tumor-normal paired CGP. Eventually, a total of eight patients were diagnosed with LS. Herein, we describe two patients with microsatellite-stable cancer who could not be diagnosed using conventional clinical screening or MSI testing. Furthermore, we showed that pathogenic variants of MMR genes do not always correlate with high MSI prediction scores in several cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset analysis. These findings highlight the usefulness of CGP as a screening tool to identify individuals with possible LS, especially when conventional criteria and MSI/MMR testing fail.

摘要

林奇综合征(LS)是一种由DNA错配修复(MMR)基因的种系致病变异引起的遗传性癌症易感性综合征。为了诊断LS,微卫星不稳定性(MSI)检测或MMR酶的免疫组织化学被用作所有结直肠癌和子宫内膜癌患者的常规临床筛查方法。最近,晚期癌症患者接受了全面基因组分析(CGP),这不仅有助于检测分子靶向个性化治疗,还可通过确定推定的种系致病变异(PGPV)来筛查遗传性癌症综合征。在2020年1月至2024年4月期间,1583名患者在我们研究所接受了CGP。在19名患者中检测到MMR基因中的PGPV。尽管有1名患者在结果披露前死亡,8名患者拒绝进行验证性基因检测,但其余10名患者接受了验证性基因检测,其中6名被发现有遗传起源。另外2名患者使用肿瘤-正常配对CGP被诊断为LS。最终,共有8名患者被诊断为LS。在此,我们描述了2例微卫星稳定型癌症患者,他们无法通过传统临床筛查或MSI检测进行诊断。此外,我们在癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据集分析中表明,MMR基因的致病变异在几种癌症类型中并不总是与高MSI预测评分相关。这些发现突出了CGP作为一种筛查工具来识别可能患有LS的个体的有用性,特别是在传统标准和MSI/MMR检测失败时。
