Abstrakt: Lynch Syndrome is characterized by deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) components. We performed a meta-analysis of multiple RNA-sequencing datasets from patients with different dMMR variants (PMS2, MLH1, and MSH2) to better characterize the unique transcriptional profiles. Our results reveal enriched signaling pathways from tumor samples with germline mutations in the PMS2 gene including upregulation in pathways related to intrinsic and extrinsic prothrombin activation, fibrinolysis, and uPA/uPAR-mediated signaling. These pathways have been associated with tumor growth, invasiveness, and metastasis. This work provides support for further exploration into the role of PMS2 in tumor development, and as a potential therapeutic mechanism.
