Lynch syndrome, also hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome (abbreviated HNPCC), is a constellation of clinical findings caused by a mutation in a mismatch repair gene, of which there are several.[1]
As the name suggests, HNPCC is a form of inherited colorectal cancer that is not characterized by abundant intestinal polyps (non-polyposis), as in adenomatous polyposis coli.
Clinical
Divided into:[1]
- Lynch syndrome I - colon cancer associated.
- Lynch syndrome II - non-colon cancer associated.
Associations
- Colorectal carcinoma.
- Non-endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.[2]
- Stomach carcinoma.[1]
- Biliary tree carcinoma.[1]
- Pancreatic carcinoma.[1]
- Urinary system carcinoma.[1]
Genes
Special types
Muir-Torre syndrome
Muir-Torre syndrome is a subset of HNPCC that includes the presence of sebaceous adenomas.[6] It is caused by mutations in MSH2 or MLH1.[7]
