Abstract

The underlying mechanism of CCS has been less investigated, with only one whole exome sequencing (WES) study that identified a protein kinase DNA-activated catalytic subunit (PRKDC) DNA variant that might contribute to the pathogenesis. See PDF] The coexistence of complex cancer history and CCS made this patient an interesting rare case. [...]WES analysis was considered to explore whether some germline mutations may account for the susceptibility to CCS and concurrent malignancies. [...]we described a case of CCS who was complicated with colonic adenocarcinoma, seminoma, and small cell lung cancer.
