Lynch syndrome genetics and health study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the genetics and health of people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that raises the risk for certain cancers. Researchers want to learn more about how different genetic changes affect health over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a genetic change (variant) in one of these genes: MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, or EPCAM. This change could be a variant of uncertain significance (VUS), a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant, or you are an obligate carrier of a pathogenic variant confirmed in your family.
- Your genetic test result (from routine care) shows this specific variant.

This study follows adults with Lynch syndrome (an inherited gene change) using regular questionnaires and tracking health over time. It may help researchers understand how the condition progresses and improve care for people with these gene mutations.
This study looks at how the immune system interacts with the gut lining in people with Lynch syndrome and those without. It may help us better understand how Lynch syndrome affects the body.
This registry study looks at how many people with colon cancer also have Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that can affect cancer risk. If you enroll, your care team collects basic information from your diagnosis to better estimate how common it is.
This study tests a program to help families talk about genetic services for Lynch syndrome. It aims to support people who may be at risk but haven't yet had genetic counseling or testing.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can safely replace some of the more invasive procedures used to monitor people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of certain cancers (especially colorectal and uterine). If the blood test works as well, it could mean fewer colonoscopies and other invasive tests for those with Lynch syndrome.
This study checks tumor samples from people having surgery for colorectal cancer to look for a genetic condition called Lynch syndrome, which can increase the risk of other cancers. Finding it early can help you and your family take steps to protect your health.
