Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome is characterized by inherited predisposition to early colorectal carcinoma and extracolonic epithelia-derived tumors most often located in the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. HNPCC is caused by familial mutations in some of the genes responsible for DNA mismatch repair.
