Abstract
Genes most frequently connected with hereditary predisposition for cancer are tumor suppressor genes. Known genes (MSH2, MLH1, APC, PT53, VHL, RET) connected with hereditary colorectal cancer, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasya have been studied in Slovenian population. In addition mapping of possible new genes connected with defined pathology is under consideration. PCR-Conformational analysis, detection of LOH and linkage analysis have been used. Results of genetic study will represent a basis for population analysis and a contribution to understanding genetic mechanisms of cancer. The detection of mutation in a given family with hereditary cancer syndrome means also the possibility for presymptomatic genetic testing of family members at risk and thus early detection and prevention of the disease.
