Lipton L, Thomas HJ, Eeles RA, Houlston RS, Longmuir M, Davison R, Hodgson SV, Murday VA, Norbury CG, Taylor C, Tomlinson IPet al., 2001, Apparent Mendelian inheritance of breast and colorectal cancer: chance, genetic heterogeneity or a new gene?, Fam Cancer, Vol: 1, Pages: 189-195, ISSN: 1389-9600

It is not uncommon for cancer geneticists to be referred families with apparently Mendelian co-inheritance of breast and bowel cancer. Such families present a particular problem as regards the intensity of their screening for these diseases and the utility of genetic testing. Many 'breast-colon' cancer families probably result from chance clustering of two common cancers. Other 'breast-colon' cancer families may result from known cancer syndromes, such as hereditary breast-ovarian cancer or hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer, either by conferring a high risk of one cancer type and a slightly increased risk of the other, or through a predisposition to one of the two cancers and chance occurrence of the other. Anecdotally, however, many geneticists wonder about the existence of a distinct 'breast-colon cancer syndrome', since some families present good a priori evidence of genetic disease and yet cannot readily be accounted for by known genes or chance. The identification of unknown 'breast-colon cancer' genes is likely to be difficult, relying primarily on candidate gene analysis, including loci separately implicated in breast or colorectal cancer, or in other multiple cancer syndromes. Studies such as those on APC I1307K and CHEK2 1100delC may suggest the way forward for the identification of 'breast-colon cancer' genes.

Hyperplastic polyps are one of the commonest colorectal polyps and have traditionally been thought to be non-neoplastic lesions, with no malignant potential. Evidence is accumulating to suggest that the hyperplastic polyp has more significance than is generally recognised. In this review we show how the colorectal hyperplastic polyp possesses epidemiological, histochemical and genetic properties of neoplasia, while showing differences from normal mucosa. We describe the related serrated adenoma and the condition hyperplastic polyposis and discuss the implications for colorectal cancer genetics and to the practicing clinician.

Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome (HMPS) is characterized by atypical juvenile polyps, colonic adenomas, and colorectal carcinomas. HMPS appears to be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Genetic linkage analysis has been performed on a large family with HMPS. Data did not support linkage to the APC locus or to any of the loci for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Evidence that the HMPS locus lies on chromosome 6q was, however, provided by significant two-point LOD scores for linkage between HMPS and the D6S283 locus. Analysis of recombinants and multipoint linkage analysis suggested that the HMPS locus lies in a 4-cM interval containing the D6S283 locus and flanked by markers D6S468 and D6S301.

A long-range restriction map encompassing the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene has been constructed. The map includes 35 DNA markers and consists of two segments of 10 and 2.5 Mb. Published genetic markers have been connected using additional, nonpolymorphic DNA probes. The map clarifies marker order and allows comparison of physical and genetic data.
