Immunohistochemical analysis reveals high frequency of PMS2 defects in colorectal cancer
Kaspar Truninger et al. Gastroenterology. 2005 May.
Abstract
Background & aims: Germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes MSH2, MSH6, or MLH1 predispose to colorectal cancer (CRC) with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The protein encoded by PMS2 is also essential for MMR; however, alterations in this gene have been documented only in extremely rare cases. We addressed this unexpected finding by analyzing a large series of CRCs.
Methods: Expression of MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, and PMS2 was studied by immunohistochemistry in 1048 unselected, consecutive CRCs. Where absence of MMR proteins was detected, microsatellite instability and cytosine methylation of the respective gene promoter were analyzed. The DNA of patients presenting with PMS2-deficient cancers was examined for germline and somatic alterations in the PMS2 gene.
Results: An aberrant pattern of MMR protein expression was detected in 13.2% of CRCs. Loss of expression of MSH2, MSH6, or MLH1 was found in 1.4%, 0.5%, and 9.8%, respectively. PMS2 deficiency accompanied by microsatellite instability was found in 16 cases (1.5%) with a weak family history of cancer. The PMS2 promoter was not hypermethylated in these cases. Despite interference of the PMS2 pseudogenes, we identified several heterozygous germline mutations in the PMS2 gene.
Conclusions: PMS2 defects account for a small but significant proportion of CRCs and for a substantial fraction of tumors with microsatellite instability. However, the penetrance of heterozygous germline mutations in PMS2 is considerably lower than that of mutations in other MMR genes. The possible underlying causes of this unorthodox inheritance pattern are discussed.
