Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Cancer: Sequencing Panel
source: EGL Genetics
summary/abstract:Gastrointestinal cancer affects the gastrointestinal tract and accessory organs of digestion, including the esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus. Gastric cancer is a manifestation of a number of inherited cancer predisposition syndromes. The Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Cancer Panel targets genes known to be associated with various cancers that can develop in these organs and along the gastrointestinal tract.
The Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Cancer Panel also includes testing for the well-described hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes; Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and MYH-associated polyposis (MAP). Lynch syndrome, FAP, and MutY homolog MAP are three major known types of inherited colorectal cancer, which account for up to 5% of all colon cancer cases. Lynch syndrome is most frequently caused by mutations in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM,and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
