Abstract excerpt
Approximately 5-10% of all colorectal carcinomas arise from cancer predisposition syndromes caused by heterozygote germline mutations in post-replicative DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. In contrast to gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes, carcinomas in these patients do not occur on the background of increased numbers of polyps and hence are refered to as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancers (HNPCC).
