Abstract

Early detection of colorectal cancers is a significant and relatively recent achievement. Persons who carry genetic mutations linked to hereditary colorectal cancer make up 20% of the patient population. With the advent of molecular genetics and the description of hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, clinicians and genetic counselors are able to use genetic predisposition testing as an effective and important way to identify patients and families affected by inherited colorectal cancer syndromes. Hereditary Colorectal Cancer is a comprehensive collection that documents not only Familial Adenomatous Polyposis and the Lynch syndrome, but also less understood syndromes, including the Hamartomatous Polyposis Syndromes and MutYH Associated Polyposis. Internationally recognized clinicians and researchers further delve into the evolution and potential of syndromes, genes and molecular alterations that have yet to be defined. Instrumental experts in this field of discovery were carefully selected by the section editors to create this premier reference work for clinicians, scientists and researchers confronted with the treatment and management of hereditary colorectal cancer.

Abstract

In 1953 werd door Watson en Crick de structuur van het DNA blootgelegd: dit gaf inzicht in de wijze waarop de erfelijke eigenschappen van een organisme worden 'gecodeerd' en bij elke celdeling doorgegeven. Omstreeks 1975 werd het mogelijk om DNA te 'manipuleren'. De stukjes DNA die een welbepaalde eigenschap tot stand brengen, en die men genen noemt, kan men nu isoleren, identificeren en reproduceren (klonen). In verband met de mens leidt dit samen met andere technieken tot de mogelijkheid om de oorsprong van een groot aantal erfelijke ziekten op te sporen. Door onderzoek van enkele cellen kan men de aanwezigheid van een erfelijke aanleg vaststellen zowel bij de volwassene, het kind, de foetus als bij het embryo. Deze kennis kan heel waardevol zijn, maar ze kan ook ongewenste tot zelfs dramatische gevolgen hebben. Dit boek geeft een inzicht in de mogelijkheden van dit genetisch onderzoek. Tegelijk worden ook de voornaamste ethische vragen gesteld die erdoor worden opgeroepen. (Bron: covertekst)
