Recent years have brought great advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of colorectal cancers. The elucidation of the underlying genetic alterations that produce these cancers has made it possible to broadly categorize this disease into two major types, hereditary and sporadic. The heredit
Many reports have recently recommended a careful weighing of the potential benefits and harms of genetic testing (carrier or predisposition) of children and adolescents [
Cancers result from an accumulation of inherited and somatic mutations yielding cells that have acquired the necessary characteristics for unregulated growth. The development of the tumour can be viewed as an evolutionary process, involving several classes of genes in tumour initiation and progressi
## Abstract The availability of molecular genetic tests for the identification of mutant gene carriers, and for assessing individual genetic response to pharmacologic agents, infectious agents, and other environmental exposures, is expected to result in the increased use of the molecular genetic te
