Lynch Syndrome: All You Need to Know

Lynch syndrome is characterized by inherited mutations in genes responsible for DNA repair mismatch (MMR). These genes encode proteins that play crucial roles in repairing errors that occur during DNA replication. When mutations occur in one of these genes, it impairs the MMR system's ability to correct mistakes, leading to an increased accumulation of DNA errors or mutations, leading to an increased risk of developing various types of cancers.
