Abstract excerpt
Lynch syndrome (LS) and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) are distinct cancer syndromes caused, respectively, by mono- and bi-allelic germline mismatch repair (MMR) variants. LS predisposes to mainly gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancers in adulthood. CMMRD predisposes to brain, haematological, and LS-spectrum cancers from childhood.
