Dear Texas ONS Member,
As part of the UT Southwestern's Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas' (CPRIT) grant, "The Dissemination of a Genetic Navigation Navigation Framework for Hereditary Cancers to Increase Mutation Carrier Identification and Improve Outcomes", I am attaching our Cancer Genetic Syndrome-Specific Fact Sheets and Clinician Guides for Lynch syndrome, the most common hereditary cancer syndrome, including a Spanish overview of Lynch syndrome. The genes associated with Lynch syndrome are MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 and EPCAM.
Our Cancer Genetics Toolkit is now online and available at
Genetic Screening and Navigation Toolkit | Guide to Hereditary Cancer for Health Pros | UT Southwestern Medical Center. Additional information/ tools will be updated over time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
Kathy
