ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Describe the structure of pathogenic germline variants and clinical and anatomical features in colorectal cancer patients in Moscow. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The whole genome sequencing results of patients with suspected hereditary cancer syndrome were evaluated. All identified genetic variants were validated using Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The study included 238 patients with colorectal cancer, 41/238 (17.2%) patients have pathogenic germline variants associated with hereditary cancer syndromes or increased cancer risk. Lynch syndrome accounts for 8% of all colorectal cancer cases (19/238), and familial adenomatous polyposis - 1.7% (4/238). 5 new genetic variants were described for the first time in a Russian colorectal cancer patients: MLH1 c.1921dup (p.Leu641fs), APC c.2929C>T (p.Gln977Ter), PMS2 c.327del (p.Ala110LeufsTer2), MSH2 c.1857dup (p. Val620CysfsTer24), ATM c.895G>T (p.Glu299Ter). In 197 of 238 patients, no significant variants were identified or variants with an uncertain clinical underlying cause were identified. CONCLUSION: According to the results of the study, an earlier manifestation of a malignant neoplasm and a more frequent occurrence of high-grade carcinomas in the presence of pathogenic germline mutations were noted compared to the group of patients without clinically significant varianrs, while in the group with identified mutations, the frequency of regional and distant metastasis was not increased.

A regular medical examination of 234 workers at a chemical pharmaceutical factory was performed. Skin rash, rhinitis and bronchospasm were detected in 7.3% of the examinees. A microthermal method was applied to 69 workers engaged in antibiotic production. In 26% the results were conditionally positive, in 7.6%--sharply positive. Preclinical diagnosis of drug allergy under occupational conditions made it possible to consider properly the problems of effective employment of the workers preserving their working capacity.
