초록

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers with high morbidity and mortality. Familial GC is seen in 10% of cases, and approximately 3% of familial GC cases arise ow- ing to hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). CDH1 , which encodes the protein E-cad- herin, is the only gene whose mutations are associated with HDGC. Screening for the fa- milial GC-predisposing gene has been neglected in high-risk countries such as Korea, China, and Japan, where all the cases have been attributed to Helicobacter pylori or other carcinogens. Screening for the GC-causing CDH1 mutation may provide valuable informa- tion for genetic counseling, testing, and risk-reduction management for the as-yet unaf- fected family members. An asymptomatic 44-yr-old Korean male visited our genetic clinic for consultation owing to his family history of GC. Eventually, c.1018A>G in CDH1 , a known disease-causing mutation, was found. As of the publication time, the individual is alive without the evidence of GC, and is on surveillance. To our knowledge, this is the first Korean case of presymptomatic detection of CDH1 mutation, and it highlights the impor- tance of genetic screening for individuals with a family history of GC, especially in high-risk geographical areas.

Abstract

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers with high morbidity and mortality. Familial GC is seen in 10% of cases, and approximately 3% of familial GC cases arise ow- ing to hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). CDH1 , which encodes the protein E-cad- herin, is the only gene whose mutations are associated with HDGC. Screening for the fa- milial GC-predisposing gene has been neglected in high-risk countries such as Korea, China, and Japan, where all the cases have been attributed to Helicobacter pylori or other carcinogens. Screening for the GC-causing CDH1 mutation may provide valuable informa- tion for genetic counseling, testing, and risk-reduction management for the as-yet unaf- fected family members. An asymptomatic 44-yr-old Korean male visited our genetic clinic for consultation owing to his family history of GC. Eventually, c.1018A>G in CDH1 , a known disease-causing mutation, was found. As of the publication time, the individual is alive without the evidence of GC, and is on surveillance. To our knowledge, this is the first Korean case of presymptomatic detection of CDH1 mutation, and it highlights the impor- tance of genetic screening for individuals with a family history of GC, especially in high-risk geographical areas.
