Abstract:
High frequency microsatellite instability (MSI—H) is an alternate pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis and is present in approximately 15% of all sporadic colorectal cancers. These tumours are predominantly located in the right colon, occur mainly in the elderly and have a better prognosis than microsatellite stable (MSS) CRCs. In addition they are usually of mucinous type histology, tend to be locally invasive, metastasise less and are of larger size than MSS CRCs. The mismatch repair (MMR) genes hMLHl is most commonly mutated or methylated in sporadic colorectal cancers with MSI-H.

Abstract:
The majority of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) cases affects individuals over the age of 50, but about 10% of cases occur in young adults under 50 in Hong Kong. Apart from germline mutation of the DNA mismatch repair genes that predisposes to early-onset CRC with a high-level of microsatellite instability (MSI-H), it is unknown if the mechanisms that give rise to CRC in other young adults differ from those in older individuals. In an effort to understand the genetic and epigenetic basis of early and late-onset CRC outside the Lynch Syndrome setting, we performed a detailed characterization o

Abstract:
Identification and understanding of the molecular events involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis should lead to better comprehension of the disease process, hopefully leading to better prognostic stratification, and as a result more targeted treatment regimens and improved patient outcomes. A sub group of sporadic CRC exhibit microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI is seen when the fidelity of DNA replication is impaired. Cancers may be categorized as MSI-high (MSI-H), MSI-low (MSI-L), or microsatellite stable (MSS), according to the degree of MSI exhibited. This research proj

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins governs the regulation of diverse cellular functions, such as cell fate decision, cell cycle progression, maintenance of embryonic stem cell pluripotency, and DNA damage repair.

Recently, a study showed that forced expression of CBX8 in normal human and mouse fibroblasts demonstrated that cells could bypass senescence via INK4a-ARF repression; while another report demonstrated that CBX8 was involved in

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in Hong Kong.

Our GWAS investigated the association between genetic variants with CRC risk in the Han Chinese population in Hong Kong.

Severe MTHFR deficiency results in hyperhomocysteinemia and homocystinuria; patients present with developmental delay, and various neurological and vascular disorders.

The role of meat consumption in the development of cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC), has been subject of much investigation in recent years.

An area of particular interest in CRC pathogenesis is the meat-derived compounds such are heterocyclic amines (HCAs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and meatderived mutagenic activity.
