A SUMOylation-defective MITF germline mutation predisposes to melanoma and renal carcinoma

Abstract: So far, no common environmental and/or phenotypic factor has been associated with melanoma and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The known risk factors for melanoma include sun exposure, pigmentation and nevus phenotypes; risk factors associated with RCC include smoking, obesity and hypertension. A recent study of coexisting melanoma and RCC in the same patients supports a genetic predisposition underlying the association between these two cancers. The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) has been p… Show more

“…Only 2/7 patients with FL-HCC and 1/5 HCC were alive with a follow-up of 47, 77 and 74 months but after multiple recurrences treated with various combined therapies (multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, inhibitor tyrosine kinase, radiofrequency). The median survival of patients was 26 months (12-78) for FL-HCC and 16.5 months (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) for HCC.…”

“…[9]. Il est donc très intéressant de souligner que la mutation germinale p.E318K de MITF a également été détectée chez une série de patients ayant développé un carcinome à cellules rénales et un mélanome malin cutané, ainsi que dans une série clinique de patients à haut risque de développer un carcinome à cellules rénales mais qui ne présentaient aucune des mutations germinales des gènes connus de prédisposition à ce cancer [3]. Une fois encore, la fréquence de la mutation était significativement plus élevée dans ces deux séries de patients que dans la population générale.…”

“…Identification d'une mutation germinale faux sens dans le gène MITF Récemment, nous avons identifié par séquençage une mutation germinale fauxsens dans le gène MITF (microphthalmiaassociated transcription factor) qui est associée à un risque accru de mélanome chez les porteurs [3,4]. MITF code pour un facteur de transcription de la superfamille MYC, de type hélice-boucle-hélice, qui comporte des répétitions de leucines.…”
