Previous survival studies suggested a better prognosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients compared with the sporadic counterpart. In the present study we evaluated the clinical outcome of HNPCC patients with respect to that of patients with colorectal cancer recorded in a
A s of 1999, it is possible to test selected subjects for carriage of germline mutations in genes responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), 1,2 hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), 3,4 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, 5 and juvenile polyposis. 6,7 These diseases are heterogeneous ph
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), the most common hereditary colon cancer syndrome, is a dominant disorder caused by germline defects in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Identification of MMR gene mutations can have direct clinical implications in counseling and management of HNPCC fam
To identify characteristics of gastric cancer associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), we gathered clinical data and tumor samples relating to patients recorded in the Finnish HNPCC registry. Our series included 51 families with a characterized mutation and/or that met the
