E Cadherin

Aims & Background Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is a recently defined cancer syndrome caused by inactivating, heterozygous germline mutations in the E-cadherin gene (CDH1). To date, 16 truncating germline CDH1 mutations have been described in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer families in different ethnic groups, but so far, no investigation has been addressed to Italian patients. In the District of Urbino, Region Marche, Central Italy, gastric cancer is the most common tumor in men and it is the second in women after breast cancer. In this area, we investigated CDH1 mutations in patients who fulfilled the hereditary diffuse gastric cancer criteria. Material and Methods Consecutive patients with diffuse gastric cancer were considered eligible for the study. After pedigree analysis, patients who met the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium criteria were studied for CDH1 mutations. After blood samples collection and DNA extraction, standard polymerase chain reaction and sequencing techniques were used for CDH1 analysis. Results In a study population of 98 patients with diffuse gastric cancer, 11 patients (11%) showed familial clustering and 3 of them met the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium criteria for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. None of the 3 patients showed inactivating germline mutation in CDH1. Conclusions According to recent studies, the frequency of CDH1 inactivating germline mutations in patients who fulfil the hereditary diffuse gastric cancer criteria may be lower than that reported in early investigations. The results of the present study in a population of Italian patients seem to confirm these data. It is likely that unidentified mutations in CDH1 or other involved genes contribute to diffuse gastric cancer susceptibility.

E Cadherin

CDH1 encodes E-cadherin, a key protein in adherens junctions. Given that E-cadherin is involved in major cellular processes such as embryogenesis and maintenance of tissue architecture, it is no surprise that deleterious effects arise from its loss of function. E-cadherin is recognised as a tumour suppressor gene, and it is well established that CDH1 genetic alterations cause diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer—the foremost manifestations of the hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome. However, in the last decade, evidence has emerged demonstrating that CDH1 mutations can be associated with lobular breast cancer and/or several congenital abnormalities, without any personal or family history of diffuse gastric cancer. To date, no genotype–phenotype correlations have been observed. Remarkably, there are reports of mutations affecting the same nucleotide but inducing distinct clinical outcomes. In this review, we bring together a comprehensive analysis of CDH1-associated disorders and germline alterations found in each trait, providing important insights into the biological mechanisms underlying E-cadherin’s pleiotropic effects. Ultimately, this knowledge will impact genetic counselling and will be relevant to the assessment of risk of cancer development or congenital malformations in CDH1 mutation carriers.

The Difference

The objective of this study was to determining the frequency of different sub-types of pathogenic CDH1 germline mutations in healthy and asymptomatic individuals from families with the hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) syndrome. Relevant literature dating from 1998 to 2019 was systematically searched for data on CDH1 germline mutations. The collected variants were classified according to their subtype into the following classes: missense, non-sense, splicing, insertions and deletions. The χ2 test was used to estimate if the difference observed between patients with gastric cancer (GC) and unaffected individuals was statistically significant. CDH1 genetic screening data were retrieved for 224 patients with GC and 289 healthy individuals. Among the subjects that had tested CDH1 positive, splicing mutations were found in 30.4% of the healthy individuals and in 15.2% of the patients with GC (p=0.0076). Missense mutations were also found to occur in healthy subjects with higher frequency (22.2%) than in GC-affected individuals (18.3%), but the difference was not significant in this case. In families meeting the clinical criteria for the HDGC syndrome, CDH1 splicing and missense germline mutations have been reported to occur with higher frequency in healthy subjects than in patients with cancer. This preliminary observation suggests that not all pathogenic CDH1 germline mutations confer the same risk of developing GC.
