Note
Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency is a rare hereditary, autosomal recessive childhood cancer predisposition syndrome with four main tumor types: HEMATOLOGIC NEOPLASMS; BRAIN NEOPLASMS and CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM NEOPLASMS; COLORECTAL NEOPLASMS and multiple INTESTINAL POLYPS, and other malignancies including embryonic tumors and RHABDOMYOSARCOMA. Many patients show signs reminiscent of NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE I (OMIM: 162200). 'Turcot syndrome' classically refers to the combination of colorectal polyposis and primary tumors of the central nervous system. Mutations in the MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 genes have been identified. OMIM: 276300
