Overview
Lynch syndrome was first described by Dr. Henry T. Lynch, an American physician, in 1966.
Overview
Historical Perspective
- In 1913, Aldred Warthin, Chairman of the Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, first reported a family which he called 'Family G' with features of the disease now known as Lynch syndrome. He recognized there were "cancer fraternities" and there was an influence of heredity on cancer.[1]
- In 1966, Dr. Henry T. Lynch described 2 Midwestern families whose members were affected with colon, gastric, and endometrial cancers.[2]
- In 1971, Lynch and Krush updated the studies of the family, in which they introduced the term 'cancer family syndrome" for the disease affecting the families.[3]
- The term "Lynch syndrome" was coined in 1984 by Boland and Troncale.
- Lynch named the condition hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer in 1985. Since then the two terms have been used interchangeably. [4]
- 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.[5]
