Interview by Zoe Garoufalia and Gloria Zaffaroni. Lynch syndrome is characterised by predisposition to colorectal, endometrial, and other cancers, and is caused by autosomal dominant inherited pathogenic variants affecting the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2. It is probably the most common predisposition to cancer. Despite its high estimated prevalence, up until now, there were no reliable long term data of MMR variant carriers in order to plan their treatment according to evidence-based medicine principles.
