Do you know? 3 out of every 100 colon cancers or endometrial cancers are caused by Lynch syndrome!
Lynch syndrome has historically been known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).
Lynch syndrome runs in families in an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
This means that if one parent carries a gene mutation for Lynch syndrome, there's a 50% chance that mutation will be passed on to each child.
The risk of Lynch syndrome is the same whether the gene mutation carrier is the mother or father or whether the child is a son or daughter.
If you’re interested in learning more about lynch syndrome, consult Dr. Sarika, or book an appointment.
