Lynchsündroomi
Lynchsündroomi, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is an inherited condition that increases the risk of developing several types of cancer. It is caused by mutations in genes that are responsible for repairing damaged DNA. These genes are crucial for maintaining the stability of a person's genetic material. When these genes are faulty, errors in DNA can accumulate, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer.
Individuals with Lynchsündroomi have a significantly higher lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer, as well as
Diagnosis of Lynchsündroomi is typically made through genetic testing. This testing identifies specific mutations in DNA
Management for individuals diagnosed with Lynchsündroomi focuses on early detection and prevention. This often involves regular
