Lynch Syndrome: Understanding Its Causes, Symptoms, and Homeopathic Treatment

Genetic causes of Lynch syndrome

Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that predisposes a patient to many cancers, with colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer being the most common. 

The condition results from inherited mutations in the MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2 genes that encode proteins that facilitate DNA mismatch repair.

 The development of cancer in persons with Lynch syndrome tends to occur earlier than in their counterparts in the general population. 

CAUSES OF LYNCH SYNDROME:

Lynch syndrome is caused by inherited mutations in specific genes responsible for DNA mismatch repair, including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM. These mutations impair the body’s ability to fix errors that occur during DNA replication, leading to an increased risk of cancer development.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF LYNCH SYNDROME:

Lynch syndrome itself does not cause any specific signs and symptoms, though a patient may develop cancers at earlier ages than what is considered in the average population. Common signs include:

– Early-onset colorectal cancer that in many cases occurs even before age 50

– Endometrial or uterine cancer

These include stomach, ovarian, renal, hepatic, cerebral, and skin cancers.

GENERAL APPROACH:

  1.  Genetic Testing and Counseling: In those having a family history of Lynch-associated cancers.
  2.  Follow-up:
  •  Colonoscopy at age 20-25 years and every 1-2 years thereafter
  •  Screening for women with endometrial cancer
  •  Other cancer screening is in line with family history and a person’s risk.
  1. Preventive Surgery: Some make preventive removal of the colon, uterus, or ovaries for possible risk reduction in cancer.
  2. . Lifestyle Changes: A healthy diet, exercise, and avoidance of smoking can reduce the risk of having cancer.
  3.  Surveillance for Relatives: Informs other family members and provides them with the possibility of undergoing genetics .
