1 From clinic to genetics

2 Question 1) Clinical pattern of inheritance of the HNPCC-Syndrome?

3 Question 1) Clinical pattern of inheritance of the HNPCC-Syndrome? Autosomal dominant

4 Question 2) Incidence of HNPCC in relation to all colorectal cancer?

5 Question 2) Incidence of HNPCC in relation to all colorectal cancer? Between 2-4% and 5% (older studies mentioning up to 10%)

6 Question 3) Concerning colorectal cancer: Penetrance? Specific anatomic site?

7 Question 3) Concerning colorectal cancer: Penetrance? 50-80% Specific anatomic site? right sided colon

8 Question 4) Histological features of colorectal cancer in HNPCC:

9 Question 4) Histological features of colorectal cancer in HNPCC: - Poorly differentiated -Mucinous - Large numbers of infiltrating lymphocytes

34 Genetics

35 Question 17) The 4 mismatch repair genes involved in HNPCC:

36 Question 17) The 4 mismatch repair genes involved in HNPCC: MSH2 MLH1 MSH6 PMS2 (EpCAM epithelial cell adhesion molecule EpCAM-MSH2 fusion transcripts)

37 Question 18) The 4 mismatch repair genes involved in HNPCC: MSH2 MLH1 MSH6 PMS2 (EpCAM epithelial cell adhesion molecule EpCAM-MSH2 fusion transcripts) Frequency?

39 Question 19) mismatch repair genes family?

40 Question 19) mismatch repair genes family? Toumor suppressor gene

41 Question 20) Subgroups of toumor suppressor genes?

42 Question 20) Subgroups of toumor suppressor genes? A) Caretakers (mismatch repair genes) keep DNA stable -keep DNA stable -cells prone to mutations of other genes -Penetrancehigh but not 100% (e.g. NHPCC 80%) B) Gatekeepers (e.g. APC) prevent uncontrolled proliferation - opens gate to proliferation - Penetrance 100% (e.g. FAP 100%)

43 Question 21) mismatch repair genes how many allele(s) have mutations on germ line level?

44 Question 21) mismatch repair genes how many allele(s) have mutations on germ line level? One

45 Question 22) mismatch repair genes how many allele(s) need to be mutated to develop cancer?

46 Question 22) mismatch repair genes how many allele(s) need to be mutated to develop cancer? Two

47 Question 23) mismatch repair genes how many allele(s) have mutations on germ line level -One how many allele(s) need to be mutated to develop cancer Two Explanation of this paradox?

48 Question 23) mismatch repair genes how many allele(s) have mutations on germ line level -One how many allele(s) need to be mutated to develop cancer Two Explanation of this paradox? Highly proliferative tissue, high chance of 2 nd mutation during lifetime double hit theory
