Hereditary Colorectal Open Access Journals

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is the most frequent form of hereditary colorectal cancer. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant syndrome, as a result of defective mismatch repair proteins. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer accounts for 2-5% of all colorectal carcinomas.There are a number of different inherited conditions that have a significant risk of colon cancer.It is estimated that 15–50% of colorectal cancers are familial. It can cause familial colorectal cancer even to a single gene, a combination of genes, or a combination of genetic and environmental factors . Typically these families have one or two members with a history of colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps.Inherited colorectal cancers are associated with a genetic mutation in a cancer susceptibility gene. Everyone inherits one responsiveness gene from each of their parents, making a total of two working copies of each gene. If a mutation in one copy of a cancer susceptibility gene is passed from the parent to their child, the child is predisposed (or has the potential) to develop cancer. Online Journals are scholarly and peer reviewed journals.
