Impact of Patient Age on Molecular Alterations of Left-Sided Colorectal Tumors

Abstract

The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in younger patients is rising, mostly due to tumors in the descending colon and rectum. Therefore, we aimed to explore the molecular differences of left-sided CRC between younger (≤45 years) and older patients (≥65). In total, 1,126 CRC tumor samples from the splenic flexure to (and including) the rectum were examined by next-generation sequencing (NGS), immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization. Microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) were assessed by NGS. Younger patients (n = 350), when compared with older patients (n = 776), showed higher mutation rates in genes associated with cancer-predisposing syndromes (e.g., Lynch syndrome), such as MSH6 (4.8% vs. 1.2%, p = .005), MSH2 (2.7% vs. 0.0%, p = .004), POLE (1.6% vs. 0.0%, p = .008), NF1 (5.9% vs. 0.5%, p < .001), SMAD4 (14.3% vs. 8.3%, p = .024), and BRCA2 (3.7% vs. 0.5%, p = .002). Genes involved in histone modification were also significantly more mutated: KDM5C (1.9% vs. 0%, p = .036), KMT2A (1.1% vs. 0%, p = .033), KMT2C (1.6% vs. 0%, p = .031), KMT2D (3.8% vs. 0.7%, p = .005), and SETD2 (3.2% vs. 0.9%, p = .039). Finally, TMB-high (9.7% vs. 2.8%, p < .001) and MSI-high (MSI-H; 8.1% vs. 1.9%, p = ...Continue Reading

Breast Cancer: BRCA1 & BRCA2

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
