| Abstract | Lynch syndrome (or HNPCC) is a colorectal cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations in either one of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes hMLH1, hMSH2, hMSH6 or hPMS2. Mutations in hMLH1 and hMSH2 are most prevalent. Here we aimed to determine the cancer risk of MMR gene mutation carriers and, in addition, the efficacy of colonoscopy surveillance in Chinese Lynch syndrome family members with and without MMR gene mutations.A Lynch syndrome family registry encompassing 106 families in Northern China was recently established. Detailed pedigree data for each family were collected and hMLH1 and hMSH2 gene mutation analyses were performed. Germ-line mutations were identified in probands from 42 of these families, and additional genetic analyses were performed in each member of these 42 families to identify mutation and non-mutation carriers. Among the family members included, 180 received colonoscopy and the remaining cases were followed without colonoscopy.Overall 54.8 % of the Lynch syndrome family members carried MMR gene mutations, and these mutation carriers exhibited significantly higher colorectal cancer and other Lynch syndrome-associated cancer risks as compared to non-mutation carriers. The cumulative risk for all Lynch syndrome-related cancers at age 70 was 93.8 % for both hMLH1 and hMSH2 mutation carriers, and 81.7 % and 93.1 % for colorectal cancer at this age, respectively. Whereas 43 of 102 (42.2 %) mutation carriers exhibited significant colonoscopy findings, including 10 colorectal cancers, none of 78 non-mutation carriers exhibited significant findings, and no cancers were detected. In addition, in the mutation carriers, colonoscopy surveillance led to the detection of more early stage cancers than in the non-surveillance group (70.0 % versus 36.5 %, p < 0.01).In Lynch syndrome family members, we recommend pre-symptomatic MMR gene mutation analysis in order to identify high risk individuals for colonoscopy surveillance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
