German Consortium for Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer
OverviewThe aim of the GC-HNPCC is to improve the cinical care of patients with Lynch syndrome in Germany through a network of specialised university centers providing structured interdisciplinary care. Furthermore, GC-HNPCC collects comprehensive data on patients and families in a standardized manner, in order to promote research on Lynch syndrome.
The German Consortium for Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (GC-HNPCC) has been founded in 1999 by the German Cancer Aid and has been funded by the German Cancer Aid until recently. GC-HNPCC currently comprises 6 university centers providing genetic counseling, histopathological and molecular tissue analysis, genetic testing, and specific structured surveillance programs for early cancer detection at each clinical unit, all based on defined standard operating procedures.

The PREMM5 has been developed as a pretest to decide whether patients suspected of having Lynch syndrome should be tested for germline mismatch repair gene mutations. In contrast to "PREMM1,2,6" it can be used to predict mutation probabilities in unaffected index patients.
"PREMM5" is a logistic regression model. It calculates the risk of having a mutation in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2/EPCAM, MSH6 and PMS2 (for single genes and overall) based on the personal and familial cancer history

The PREMM1,2,6 has been developed as a pretest to decide whether patients suspected of having Lynch syndrome should be tested for germline mismatch repair gene mutations.
"PREMM1,2,6" is a logistic regression model. It calculates the risk of having a mutation in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 (for single genes and overall) based on the personal and familial cancer history of the proband (colorectal, endometrial, and other Lynch syndrome related cancers).
