Demystifying the Mystery of Genes: A Case Report on Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency

to related objects

Abstract: Constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is a rare childhood cancer predisposition syndrome that results from biallelic germline mutations in one of the four MMR genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2. This syndrome is characterized by a broad spectrum of early-onset malignancies, including hematologic malignancies, colorectal malignancies, brain tumors, and other malignancies. It is common to have more than one malignancy in an individual diagnosed with CMMRD. In addition to malignancies, primary immunodeficiency in the form of low or absent immunoglobulin levels can also be seen in CMMRD. Congenital abnormalities such as agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC), cavernous hemangioma, and other non-neoplastic diseases can also be linked to it. In this case report, we discussed the case of a girl born out of consanguineous marriage initially identified as having T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma and later found to have selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency. Her younger sibling with a pontine cavernous hemangioma was also diagnosed with lymphoma. The girl exhibited brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which were initially diagnosed as posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) related changes; however, one of the lesions persisted and remained stable over a period of 2 years and more in favor of diffuse glioma. The younger sibling also showed a solitary lesion in the brain. Based on the clinical and radiological findings, a diagnosis of CMMRD was suspected. Next-generation sequence (NGS) analysis of her blood sample was done. The results showed a homozygous mutation in the MSH6 gene was diagnostic of CMMRD.
