Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: Lynch Syndrome
Lynch syndrome is characterized by an increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) and cancers of the endometrium, ovary, stomach, small bowel, urinary tract, biliary tract, brain (usually glioblastoma), skin (sebaceous adenomas, sebaceous carcinomas, and keratoacanthomas), pancreas, and prostate. Cancer risks and age of onset vary depending on the associated gene. Several other cancer types have been reported to occur in individuals with Lynch syndrome (e.g., breast, sarcomas, adrenocortical carcinoma). However, the data are not sufficient to demonstrate that the risk of developing these cancers is increased in individuals with Lynch syndrome. [from GeneReviews]

Additional descriptions

From OMIM
Mismatch repair cancer syndrome (MMRCS) is a rare autosomal recessive childhood cancer predisposition syndrome with 4 main tumor types: hematologic malignancies, brain/central nervous system tumors, colorectal tumors and multiple intestinal polyps, and other malignancies including embryonic tumors and rhabdomyosarcoma. Many patients show signs reminiscent of neurofibromatosis type I (NF1; 162200), particularly multiple cafe-au-lait macules (summary by Baas et al., 2013). Wimmer and Etzler (2008) provided a review of the mismatch cancer repair syndrome and suggested that the prevalence may be underestimated. Genetic Heterogeneity of Mismatch Repair Cancer Syndrome MMRCS2 (619096) is caused by mutation in the MSH2 gene (609309) on chromosome 2p21-p16. MMRCS3 (619097) is caused by mutation in the MSH6 gene (600678) on chromosome 2p16. MMRCS4 (619101) is caused by mutation in the PMS2 gene (600259) on chromosome 7p22. Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP; 175100), an autosomal dominant disorder that results from heterozygous mutations in the APC gene, may also develop brain tumors or extracolonic malignancies, resulting in a similar clinical phenotype. Heterozygous mutations in the MMR genes result in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (see, e.g., HNPCC1, 120435).  http://www.omim.org/entry/276300
From MedlinePlus Genetics
Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome is a rare disorder that greatly increases the risk of developing one or more types of cancer in children and young adults. The cancers that most commonly occur in CMMRD syndrome are cancers of the colon (large intestine) and rectum (collectively referred to as colorectal cancer), brain, and blood (leukemia or lymphoma).

Almost all people with CMMRD syndrome develop cancer before age 18, generally in late childhood. The age of diagnosis varies depending on the cancer type; brain cancers, leukemia, and lymphomas tend to occur at younger ages than colorectal cancer in people with CMMRD syndrome. It is estimated that 20 to 40 percent of people with CMMRD syndrome who develop cancer will develop another cancer later in life.

People with CMMRD syndrome may develop multiple noncancerous (benign) growths (adenomas) in the colon that are likely to become cancerous (malignant) over time. Brain cancers in CMMRD syndrome often involve certain cells called glial cells, causing gliomas or glioblastomas. The most common blood cancer in CMMRD syndrome is called non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which affects white blood cells. Other cancers that can occur in CMMRD syndrome include cancers of the small intestine, urinary tract, or uterine lining (endometrial cancer).

Many people with CMMRD syndrome develop features similar to those that occur in a condition called neurofibromatosis type 1. These features include changes in skin coloring (pigmentation), which are characterized by one or more flat patches on the skin that are darker than the surrounding area (café-au-lait spots). Some affected individuals have freckling or patches of skin that are unusually light in color (hypopigmented). Rarely, people with CMMRD syndrome will develop a feature of neurofibromatosis type 1 called Lisch nodules, which are benign growths that often appear in the colored part of the eye (the iris). Lisch nodules do not interfere with vision. Some people with CMMRD syndrome are initially misdiagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1.  https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/constitutional-mismatch-repair-deficiency-syndrome

Medulloblastoma
MedGen UID:
7517
Concept ID:
C0025149
Neoplastic Process
Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children. It accounts for 16% of all pediatric brain tumors, and 40% of all cerebellar tumors in childhood are medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma occurs bimodally, with peak incidences between 3 and 4 years and 8 and 9 years of age. Approximately 10 to 15% of medulloblastomas are diagnosed in infancy. Medulloblastoma accounts for less than 1% of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in adults, with highest incidence in adults 20 to 34 years of age. In 1 to 2% of patients, medulloblastoma is associated with Gorlin syndrome (109400), a nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome. Medulloblastoma also occurs in up to 40% of patients with Turcot syndrome (see 276300). Medulloblastoma is thought to arise from neural stem cell precursors in the granular cell layer of the cerebellum. Standard treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, and, depending on the age of the patient, radiation therapy (Crawford et al., 2007). Millard and De Braganca (2016) reviewed the histopathologic variants and molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma. Pretreatment prognosis of medulloblastoma has been refined by histopathologic subclassification into the following variants: large-cell medulloblastoma, anaplastic medulloblastoma, desmoplastic/nodular medulloblastoma, and medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity (MBEN). The latter 2 groups have been shown to have a significantly superior prognosis as compared to the large cell and anaplastic groups in young children. At the molecular level, medulloblastomas have been categorized into the following subgroups: wingless (WNT), sonic hedgehog (SHH), group 3, and group 4. Each subgroup is characterized by a unique set of genetics and gene expression as well as demographic and clinical features.
Oligodendroglioma
MedGen UID:
45190
Concept ID:
C0028945
Neoplastic Process
Oligodendroglioma is a type of diffusely infiltrating glioma and constitutes approximately 5% of primary intracranial tumors. They often involve the cortical gray matter and are most commonly seen in the frontal lobes. OGs are generally low grade WHO grade II neoplasms that are slow-growing tumors and have a favorable treatment response when compared to other gliomas. Grade III anaplastic OG is a more malignant form of the tumor which portends a less favorable prognosis and may occur de novo or as degeneration from the lower grade OG.
Corpus callosum, agenesis of
MedGen UID:
104498
Concept ID:
C0175754
Congenital Abnormality
The corpus callosum is the largest fiber tract in the central nervous system and the major interhemispheric fiber bundle in the brain. Formation of the corpus callosum begins as early as 6 weeks' gestation, with the first fibers crossing the midline at 11 to 12 weeks' gestation, and completion of the basic shape by age 18 to 20 weeks (Schell-Apacik et al., 2008). Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is one of the most frequent malformations in brain with a reported incidence ranging between 0.5 and 70 in 10,000 births. ACC is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition, which can be observed either as an isolated condition or as a manifestation in the context of a congenital syndrome (see MOLECULAR GENETICS and Dobyns, 1996). Also see mirror movements-1 and/or agenesis of the corpus callosum (MRMV1; 157600). Schell-Apacik et al. (2008) noted that there is confusion in the literature regarding radiologic terminology concerning partial absence of the corpus callosum, where various designations have been used, including hypogenesis, hypoplasia, partial agenesis, or dysgenesis.
Plexiform neurofibroma
MedGen UID:
64640
Concept ID:
C0206728
Neoplastic Process
A neurofibroma in which Schwann cells proliferate inside the nerve sheath, producing an irregularly thickened, distorted, tortuous structure.
Gray matter heterotopia
MedGen UID:
452349
Concept ID:
C0266491
Finding
Heterotopia or neuronal heterotopia are macroscopic clusters of misplaced neurons (gray matter), most often situated along the ventricular walls or within the subcortical white matter.
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma
MedGen UID:
137786
Concept ID:
C0334586
Neoplastic Process
Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas (PXA) are rare low-grade astrocytomas (WHO Grade II) typically found in the temporal lobe and classically presenting with epilepsy. PXA is an astrocytic neoplasm that most often presents in children or young adults but can also occur in adults. The diagnosis of anaplastic PXA is made based upon tumor histopathologic characteristics and requires increased proliferative activity (mitotic index at least 5 mitoses/10 HPF), which is associated with worse overall survival. In general, anaplastic PXAs acquire features of a more aggressive astrocytic neoplasm that can include increased proliferation, necrosis, microvascular proliferation, loss of pericellular reticulin, and increased infiltrative growth.
Glioblastoma multiforme
MedGen UID:
301585
Concept ID:
C1621958
Neoplastic Process
A tumor arising from glia in the central nervous system with macroscopic regions of necrosis and hemorrhage. Microscopically, glioblastoma multiforme is characterized by regions of pseudopalisading necrosis, pleomorphic nuclei and cells, and microvascular proliferation.
Hypopigmentation of the skin
MedGen UID:
