Revision as of 10:25, 10 July 2013
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] e.g. endometrial clear cell carcinoma.[4]
- Suggestive features: lower uterine segment, tumour infiltrating lymphocytes.[5]
- Stomach carcinoma,[1] intestinal-type.[6]
- Biliary tree carcinoma.[1]
- Pancreatic carcinoma.[1]
- Urinary system carcinoma.[1]
Lame mnemonic GP CUBE:
- Gastric.
- Pancreas.
- CRC.
- UCC.
- Biliary.
- Endometrial.
Note:
- All the cancers are below the diaphragm.
Genes
- MSH2 gene[1] - most common.
- MLH1 gene[9] - second most common.
- PMS2 gene.[10]
- MSH6 gene.[11]
- Others.
Special types
Muir-Torre syndrome
- Abbreviated MTS.
- Muir-Torre syndrome is a subset of HNPCC that includes the presence of sebaceous adenomas,[12] and sebaceous carcinomas.[13]
- Cutaneous pathology precedes the internal malignancy in ~40% of cases.[13]
Molecular pathology:
- MTS is caused by mutations in MSH2 or MLH1.[14]
