The panel set a specific minimal set of genes to test for colorectal, endometrial, and gastric cancer: COLORECTAL CANCER GENES(including genes that predispose to polyps) Additional genes that sometimes get included: ATM, BLM, CHEK2, GALNT12, RNF43, and RPS20. ENDOMETRIAL (UTERINE) CANCER GENES GASTRIC CANCER GENES Test selection and decision to retest including additional genes beyond these …

Discovery of New Colorectal Cancer Genes
New inherited cancer genes continue to be discovered with the exciting advances made possible through next-generation sequencing technologies. Recent studies identified that the POL genes predispose to inherited colorectal cancer.1,2,3 In one study, Niemenen and colleagues studied a four-generation family with Lynch Syndrome with no evidence of mismatch repair deficiency.2 Through various means (including genetic …
