Overall, 78% of GC cases harbored one clinically relevant GA or more, with the most frequent alterations being found in TP53 (50%), ARID1A (24%), KRAS (16%), CDH1 (15%), CDKN2A (14%), CCND1 (9.5%), ERBB2 (8.5%), PIK3CA (8.6%), MLL2 (6.9%), FGFR2 (6.0%), and MET (6.0%).
In this study, we systematically reviewed the studies of CDH1 hypermethylation and GC, and evaluated the association between CDH1 hypermethylation and GC using meta-analysis methods.
Carriers of CDH1 mutations are at risk for a highly penetrant, aggressive and early-onset diffuse-type gastric cancer, and these individuals are usually offered prophylactic total gastrectomy.
The aim of this study was to find the putative gastric cancer predisposing gene defect in a family with HDGC that had previously been tested negative for mutations in CDH1.
The risk of development of gastric cancer is high in families affected b-y these syndromes, but only hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is genetically explained (caused by germline alterations of CDH1, which encodes E-cadherin).
TP53 mutation, allelic deletion of the APC gene and nuclear staining of β-catenin are frequently detected in the intestinal phenotype of GC, whereas CDH1 gene mutation, microsatellite instability and DNA hypermethylation of MLH1 are common events in the gastric phenotype of GC.
We have shown that germline CDH1 mutations are associated with early onset of bilateral LCIS with or without ILC in women without a family history of gastric cancer.
This study evaluated the effect of PTG on health-related quality of life (HRQL) in asymptomatic individuals with identified CDH1 mutations at high risk for gastric cancer.
To our knowledge, this is the first Korean case of presymptomatic detection of CDH1 mutation, and it highlights the importance of genetic screening for individuals with a family history of GC, especially in high-risk geographical areas.
Germline inactivation of the E-cadherin gene (CDH1) is associated with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), a rare autosomal dominant syndrome predisposing to both diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) and lobular breast cancer (LBC).
In this report, we describe a germline CDH1 c.48 G>C variant found in a 21 year old woman and her living great uncle, who were both diagnosed with gastric cancer and belong to a family with high incidence of this type of cancer.
Laser capture microdissection combined with real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to determine the expressions of Bmi-1, the cellular homologue of avian myelocytomatosis virus (c-Myc), enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) and epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) in 20 GC specimens and the adjacent non-cancerous gastric tissues.
