Inherited Colon Cancer Syndromes
MEREDITH C. ROATH, MD JACK A. DI PALMA, MD University of South Alabama T he modern age of genetics began in the mid-19th century, and many scientific discoveries led to the sequencing of the human genome. Recent research has uncovered the genetic basis of many diseases, and continued study is certain to lead to more discoveries. The results of this research will continue to change medicine. Gen...
متن کاملInherited cancer susceptibility syndromes in paediatric practice.
Over the last decade there have been rapid advances in our knowledge about the molecular basis of many inherited disorders. Molecular testing is now available for many conditions and may assist in the management of the individual and their extended family. One area where the use of genetic testing has expanded rapidly is in the area of hereditary cancer, particularly in relation to hereditary b...
متن کاملColorectal polyposis and inherited colorectal cancer syndromes
The majority of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are sporadic, with hereditary factors contributing to approximately 35% of CRC cases. Less than 5% of CRC is associated with a known genetic syndrome. Although adenomatous polyposis syndromes, hamartomatous polyposis syndromes, and those previously classified as non-polyposis CRC syndromes are quite rare, it is important for clinicians to know the c...
متن کاملInherited arrhythmia syndromes.
Inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes have received a lot of attention in recent years, particularly the molecular genetic basis, which has been unraveled to a great extent in the past years. Disease entities have been subdivided based on their causal gene defect, which, indeed, has been shown to impact on disease expression, clinical characteristics, prognosis and treatment. This particularly...
متن کاملInherited Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes
Lethal cardiac arrhythmias in individuals with structurally normal heart are often caused by variants in genes that encode cardiac ion channel and -subunits (102). Common inherited arrhythmia syndromes include the congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BrS), short QT syndrome (SQT), and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) (76). Moreover, inherited mutatio...
