Abstract
Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) is a multisystemic tumour-predisposing genodermatosis caused by biallelic pathogenic alterations in the ANAPC1 gene or RECQL4 gene. Herein we describe the clinical and genetic findings in three individuals with molecularly substantiated RECQL4-related RTS. Based on the disease course of two patients with osteosarcoma, we highlight the critical importance of early diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Cancer Genetics is to publish high quality scientific papers on the cellular, genetic and molecular aspects of cancer, including cancer predisposition and clinical diagnostic applications. Specific areas of interest include descriptions of new chromosomal, molecular or epigenetic alterations in benign and malignant diseases; novel laboratory approaches for identification and characterization of chromosomal rearrangements or genomic alterations in cancer cells; correlation of genetic changes with pathology and clinical presentation; and the molecular genetics of cancer predisposition. To reach a basic science and clinical multidisciplinary audience, we welcome original full-length articles, reviews, meeting summaries, brief reports, and letters to the editor.
