Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel mutation of MLH1 in an extended family with lynch syndrome
摘要
Abstract
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome is autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by early onset of colorectal cancer and neoplasia in other organs. This condition typically caused by germline mutations in the mismatch repair genes
MLH1
MSH2
MSH6
and
PMS2
. To date
a considerable number of
MLH1
gene mutations have been found to be associated with Lynch syndrome. We were aimed at identifying a genetic mutation in an extended Iranian family affected by Lynch syndrome-related cancers. Here
we applied whole-exome sequencing to identifying mutation in the proband. Furthermore
we applied Sanger sequencing to validate the candidate variant. We found a heterozygous novel single nucleotide deletion (c.206delG) in the exon two of the
MLH1
gene in the proband. Also
Sanger sequencing analysis showed that this mutation has segregated in all affected family members. The mutation (c.206delG:p.R69fs) may create a premature stop codon followed by the formation of a truncated (p.R69fs) Mlh1 protein. Our findings expand the mutational spectra of
MLH1
gene related Lynch syndrome which is vital for screening and genetic diagnosis of the disease.
