Revision as of 16:00, 15 December 2021
Background
- Also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC)
- Lynch syndrome preferred term since most patients will develop one or several adenomatous polyps
Pathogenesis
- Caused by inactivation of one of several DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes
- MMR genes (4):
- MLH1
- MSH2
- MSH6
- PMS2
- Mutations in MLH1 and MSH2 account for up to 90% of LS cases
- MMR genes (4):
- Autosomal dominant
- NCI definition: autosomal dominant inheritance is a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child. One copy of a mutated (changed) gene from one parent can cause the genetic condition. A child who has a parent with the mutated gene has a 50% chance of inheriting that mutated gene.[1]
Phenotype
- Increased risk of cancer
- LS cancers form only after a second hit (by one of several genetic damage mechanisms) occurs within somatic tissue, which causes loss of function to the normal (wild-type) allele inherited from the unaffected parent
- This results in total loss of DNA MMR activity in that cell and subsequent microsatellite instability.
- Associated malignancies:
- Colon (most common)
- Endometrial (second most common)
- Urologic (3): Prostate (inconsistent), Urothelial, Adrenal
- Other: Stomach, Hepatobiliary, Small bowel, Ovarian, Brain (glioblastoma), Sebaceous, carcinomas
- Inconsistent: Pancreas, Breast, Prostate
- LS cancers form only after a second hit (by one of several genetic damage mechanisms) occurs within somatic tissue, which causes loss of function to the normal (wild-type) allele inherited from the unaffected parent
- Identification of LS
- Clinical criteria: Amsterdam II criteria, Revised Bethesda Guidelines
- Models
- Tumour testing: microsatellite instability, immunohistochemistry
Screening
- Recommended screening[2]
- Colonoscopy
- Pelvic exam with endometrial sampling
- Transvaginal ultrasound (ovarian)
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy of the gastric antrum
- Urinalysis
- Limited data to support urinary screening
- Routine screening of the prostate and breast cancer is not recommended beyond what is advised for the general population
