Presented by:

Comprehensive Cancer Center
The landscape of lynch Ssyndrome creates challenges for medical professionals. When a diagnosis of lynch syndrome is not obvious, difficulties and confusion arise in diagnosing atypical lynch syndrome cases and knowing with certainty when a patient does not have Lynch. Observing prescribed screening and treatment protocol for gremlin MLH1 methylation, Constitution Mismatch Repair Deficiency (CMMRD), Somatic Mismatch Repair mutations, and CRC Type X translates to a better quality of life and longer life expectancy for CMMRD patients. Providers who stay abreast of these issues are better prepared to deliver a high standard of care in their clinic.

-
Biallelic MMR and CMMRD
-
Germline MLH1 methylation
-
Somatic MMR mutations
-
