Heritable somatic methylation and inactivation of MSH2 in families with Lynch syndrome due to deletion of the 3′ exons of TACSTD1
Abstract
Lynch syndrome patients are susceptible to colorectal and endometrial cancers owing to inactivating germline mutations in mismatch repair genes, including MSH2 (ref. 1). Here we describe patients from Dutch and Chinese families with MSH2-deficient tumors carrying heterozygous germline deletions of the last exons of TACSTD1, a gene directly upstream of MSH2 encoding Ep-CAM. Due to these deletions, transcription of TACSTD1 extends into MSH2. The MSH2 promoter in cis with the deletion is methylated in Ep-CAM positive but not in Ep-CAM negative normal tissues, thus revealing a correlation between activity of the mutated TACSTD1 allele and epigenetic inactivation of the corresponding MSH2 allele. Gene silencing by transcriptional read-through of a neighboring gene in either sense, as demonstrated here, or antisense direction, could represent a general mutational mechanism. Depending on the expression pattern of the neighboring gene that lacks its normal polyadenylation signal, this may cause either generalized or mosaic patterns of epigenetic inactivation.

In these cases, the abnormal DNA methylation of the gene under investigation was linked to a mutation in a neighboring gene that removed the transcription termination signal.
“In these cases, the abnormal DNA methylation of the gene under investigation was linked to a mutation in a neighboring gene that removed the transcription termination signal (Fig. 1b).”

Several studies including Guéant et al. have reported the co-segregation of an abnormal DNA methylation pattern (epimutation) with a rare disease in two or more generations of certain families.
“Several studies14–16 including a recent study by Guéant et al.18 in this journal, have reported the co-segregation of an abnormal DNA methylation pattern (called “epimutation”) with a rare disease in two or more generations of certain families.”

Most cases of segregation of abnormal DNA methylation patterns in families with rare diseases turned out to be caused by an underlying genetic variant.
“Most cases of segregation of abnormal DNA methylation patterns in families with rare diseases, however, turned out to be caused by an underlying genetic variant14–16 (see below).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
