Cancer risks by gene, age, and gender in 6350 carriers of pathogenic mismatch repair variants: findings from the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database

Mev Dominguez-Valentin, +94 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: Management guidelines for Lynch syndrome may require revision in light of these different gene and gender-specific risks and the good prognosis for the most commonly associated cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

A survey of the clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of patients with suspected Lynch syndrome in Latin America

TL;DR: The Latin America LS pathogenic MMR variants spectrum included new variants, frequently altered genetic regions and potential founder effects, emphasizing the relevance implementing Lynch syndrome genetic testing and counseling in all of Latin America countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk-reducing hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in female heterozygotes of pathogenic mismatch repair variants: a Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database report

Mev Dominguez-Valentin, +96 more
- 01 Apr 2021 - 
TL;DR: Findings may aid decision making for women with LS who are considering RRS and little benefit is gained by performing RRS before 40 years of age and premenopausal BSO in path_MSH6 and path_PMS2 heterozygotes has no measurable benefit for mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk-Reducing Gynecological Surgery in Lynch Syndrome: Results of an International Survey from the Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database

Mev Dominguez-Valentin, +50 more
TL;DR: Most centers offer risk-reducing gynecological surgery to carriers of path_MLH1, path-MSH2 and path_MSH6 variants but less so for path_PMS2 carriers, indicating wide variation in how, when and to whom this is offered.
Journal ArticleDOI

A snapshot of current genetic testing practice in Lynch syndrome: The results of a representative survey of 33 Latin American existing centres/registries.

Adriana Della Valle, +71 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the current genetics practice to manage patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) across Latin America found screening is inconsistently applied within Latin America healthcare systems because of structural differences in the healthcare systems between the countries.
