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.
The term Lynch syndrome is preferred as individuals with this syndrome often present with non-colorectal cancers.
Clinical
Divided into:[1]
- Lynch syndrome I - colon cancer associated.
- Lynch syndrome II - non-colon cancer associated.
- More common in females (~50%) vs. males (~25%).[2]
Associations
- Colorectal carcinoma.
- Non-endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.[3]
- Stomach carcinoma.[1]
- Significantly more common in males.[2]
- Biliary tree carcinoma.[1]
- Pancreatic carcinoma.[1]
- Urinary system carcinoma.[1]
- More common in the ureter than in sporadic cancers.[4]
Lame mnemonic GP CUBE:
- Gastric.
- Pancreas.
- CRC.
- UCC.
- Biliary.
- Endometrial.
Genes
Special types
Muir-Torre syndrome
Muir-Torre syndrome is a subset of HNPCC that includes the presence of sebaceous adenomas.[8] It is caused by mutations in MSH2 or MLH1.[9]
