[Lynch syndrome: genetics and surgery].
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer or Lynch Syndrome, caused by germinal mutations in mismatch deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair genes, is the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer. The identification of these individuals is not easy and is based on clinical and molecular criteria. A review is presented on the genetics and diagnosis in Lynch Syndrome, as well as on its surgic...
متن کاملLynch Syndrome: An Updated Review
Lynch syndrome is one of the most common cancer susceptibility syndromes. Individuals with Lynch syndrome have a 50%-70% lifetime risk of colorectal cancer, 40%-60% risk of endometrial cancer, and increased risks of several other malignancies. It is caused by germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 or PMS2. In a subset of patients, Lynch syndrome is caused by 3' end...
متن کاملSmall bowel cancer risk in Lynch syndrome.
It is now evident that both forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are highly heterogeneous, not only at the clinical and pathogenetic level, but also in regard to time of appearance. In fact, early-and late-onset IBD are increasingly recognised as distinct entities that can be differentiated in regard to the underlying mechanism of inflammation and r...
متن کاملDiagnosing Lynch syndrome
R isk stratification is essential for designing efficacious and cost effective colon cancer screening programmes. One of the most important risk factors for colorectal cancers (CRC) is an inherited predisposition, implicated in 20% of all cases. The spectrum of genetic susceptibility ranges from the low penetrance mutations that modestly increase the colon cancer risk (for example, I 1307K) to ...
متن کاملLynch syndrome (HNPCC)
Lynch syndrome, also referred to as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), accounts for somewhere between 2 and 5% of all CRC. It has been shown that Lynch syndrome (LS) is a result of germline mutations in genes involved in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, and PMS2, whereas as HNPCC refers to families that adhere to the Amsterdam criteria or iterations of it. More recen...
