Gum disease in people with Lynch syndrome
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with Lynch syndrome are more likely to have gum disease (periodontal disease). By checking your dental health and your family's history, researchers hope to find new ways to catch health problems early and improve overall care for people with Lynch syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a confirmed Lynch syndrome diagnosis (a genetic change in MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, or EpCAM).
- You are due for a routine gastrointestinal endoscopy as part of your Lynch syndrome care.
- You have recently had a dental and gum examination, including X-rays.
- You do not have uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases, active cancer treatment, or severe psychiatric/neurological conditions.

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.
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 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 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 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 helps people with Lynch syndrome find ways to tell their family members about their diagnosis so those relatives can get tested. It aims to improve family communication and access to genetic screening.
