Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome. Heterozygous CDH1 mutation carriers have a 70 to 80% lifetime risk of developing diffuse gastric cancer. In addition to gastric cancer, up to 60% of female mutation ...
Diagnosis OMIM Caldas et al. (1999) reported the proceedings of the First Workshop of the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium convened to produce consensus statements and guidelines for familial gastric cancer. Caldas et al. (1999) noted that review of pathologic ...
Clinical Description OMIM Jones (1964) described 3 multigenerational Maori families from New Zealand segregating early-onset familial gastric cancer. These families were later studied in detail by Guilford et al. (1998). In 1 family, 25 members ranging in age from 14 years ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In affected members of 3 New Zealand families with HDGC, Guilford et al. (1998) identified heterozygous germline mutations in the CDH1 gene (192090.0005-192090.0007).

Grady et al. (2000) noted that patients with heterozygous germline mutations in the ...

Diagnosis GeneReviews Criteria for consideration of CDH1 molecular genetic testing in individuals with diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) were revised in 2005 when a new cohort of families with hereditary DGC was tested [Suriano et al 2005]. These current criteria are applicable to North America, northern Europe, and other regions of low gastric cancer incidence but are likely too broad for use in regions of high gastric cancer incidence such as Japan and Korea. ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Age of onset. The average age of onset of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is 38 years, with a range of 14 to 69 years. The majority of the gastric cancers occur before age 40 years. The age of onset is also variable between and within families [Gayther et al 1998, Guilford et al 1998]. The lifetime risk for diffuse gastric cancer in males and females heterozygous for a CDH1 germline mutation is 80% [Paul Pharoah, unpublished data]....

Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews About 5%-10% of all gastric cancer is thought to be familial [Zanghieri et al 1990, La Vecchia et al 1992]. Familial gastric cancer is both clinically and genetically heterogenous. ...
