Hereditary and familial colon cancer.
Between 2% to 5% of all colon cancers arise in the setting of well-defined inherited syndromes, including Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis, MUTYH-associated polyposis, and certain hamartomatous polyposis conditions. Each is associated with a high risk of colon cancer. In addition to the syndromes, up to one-third of colon cancers exhibit increased familial risk, likely related to ...
متن کاملFamilial cancer of the colon and rectum.
A familial relationship between intestinal polyposis and the predisposition of polyposis to colonic cancer has been accepted since the publication in 1952/1953 of Dukes's paper. He collected information on every patient presenting at St Mark's Hospital with polyposis coli and investigated the family background in each case. He was able to study 41 families, trace 156 cases of polyposis, and 114...
متن کاملConfirmation of linkage to and localization of familial colon cancer risk haplotype on chromosome 9q22.
Genetic risk factors are important contributors to the development of colorectal cancer. Following the definition of a linkage signal at 9q22-31, we fine mapped this region in an independent collection of colon cancer families. We used a custom array of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) densely spaced across the candidate region, performing both single-SNP and moving-window association anal...
متن کاملFamilial risk of colon and rectal cancer in Iceland: evidence for different etiologic factors?
The aim of this study was to characterize the familial risk of colon and rectal cancer using 2 population-based registries in Iceland, the Icelandic Cancer Registry and a genealogy database. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was used to estimate the risk among relatives of colorectal cancer index cases diagnosed in Iceland over a 46-year period (1955-2000). The 2,770 colorectal cancer pati...
متن کاملThe influence of folate and multivitamin use on the familial risk of colon cancer in women.
Low intake of folate and methionine and heavy alcohol consumption have been associated with an increased overall risk of colon cancer, possibly related to their role in methylation pathways. We estimated the relative risk (RR) of colon cancer according to a history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative and categories of folate, methionine, and alcohol intake in a prospective cohort st...
