Article Title: Molecular screening for Lynch syndrome in young patients with colorectal adenomas
Abstract: Micro-Abstract Lynch syndrome, the most common cause of hereditary colorectal cancer, is caused by mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) proteins. Identification of Lynch syndrome before the cancer diagnosis is critical. We stained 266 polyps of patients aged < 50 years looking for MMR deficiencies and found 1 polyp that was MMR deficient. Routine polyp staining for MMR did not effectively identify LS carriers. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
