Defective Mismatch Repair Associated With PMS2

PMS2 heterodimerizes with MLH1 to form the MutL alpha complex involved in DNA mismatch repair. Mutations in this PMS2 are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, Turcot syndrome, and are a cause of supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors. Heterozygous truncating mutations in PMS2 play a role in a small subset of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (Lynch syndrome, HNPCC-like) families. PMS2 mutations lead to microsatellite instability with carriers showing a microsatellite instability high phenotype and loss of PMS2 protein expression in all tumors.
