Muir-Torré syndrome(MRTES)

MedGen UID:
231157
Concept ID:
C1321489
Neoplastic Process
Synonyms: Cutaneous sebaceous neoplasms and keratoacanthomas multiple with gastrointestinal and other carcinomas; MLH1-Related Muir-Torre Syndrome; MRTES; MSH2-Related Muir-Torre Syndrome; Muir-Torre syndrome
SNOMED CT: Torré-Muir syndrome (403824007); Muir-Torré syndrome (403824007); Torre-Muir syndrome (403824007)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.
 
Genes (locations): MLH1 (3p22.2); MSH2 (2p21-16.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0008018

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]

Neoplasm of ovary
MedGen UID:
181539
Concept ID:
C0919267
Neoplastic Process
Ovarian cancer, the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancy, is characterized by advanced presentation with loco-regional dissemination in the peritoneal cavity and the rare incidence of visceral metastases (Chi et al., 2001). These typical features relate to the biology of the disease, which is a principal determinant of outcome (Auersperg et al., 2001). Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common form and encompasses 5 major histologic subtypes: papillary serous, endometrioid, mucinous, clear cell, and transitional cell. Epithelial ovarian cancer arises as a result of genetic alterations sustained by the ovarian surface epithelium (Stany et al., 2008; Soslow, 2008).
