Overview
Lynch syndrome was named in honor of Dr. Henry T. Lynch, an American physician and Professor of Medicine at Creighton University Medical Center.[1]
Historical Perspective
- In 1966, Dr. Henry T. Lynch characterized Lynch syndrome for the first time.[2]
- Dr. Lynch discovered hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, as the most common form of hereditary colorectal cancer.
- In his earlier work, he described the disease entity as "cancer family syndrome". He demonstrated the Mendelian inheritance pattern for certain breast and ovarian cancers, which laid the ground work for the identification of specific genes responsible for these familial cancers, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2.[3]
- In 1971, Lynch and Krush updated the studies of the family, in which the disease eventually became known as hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch Syndrome.[4]
- The term "Lynch syndrome" was coined in 1984 by other authors; Lynch named the condition HNPCC in 1985. Since then the two terms have been used interchangeably, until later advances in the understanding of the genetics of the disease led to the term HNPCC falling out of favor.[5]
- Other sources reserve the term "Lynch syndrome" when there is a known DNA mismatch repair defect, and use the term "familial colorectal cancer type X" when the Amsterdam criteria are met but there is no known DNA mismatch repair defect.[6]
