Colorectal Cancer
•3rd most common form of cancer in developed world (excluding skin cancers)•Life time risk of developing colorectal cancer is ~5%
![Page 6: Gene 210 Cancer Genomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815055550346895dbe56cf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Colorectal Cancer
Most colorectal cancers usually begin as a non-cancerous polyp on the inner lining of the colon or rectum
~95% of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas
![Page 7: Gene 210 Cancer Genomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815055550346895dbe56cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Inherited colorectal cancer syndromes
5-10% of colorectal cancers are caused by inherited gene mutations
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)Caused by mutations in the APC gene~1% of all colorectal cancer cases due to FAP
Hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC; Lynch syndrome)Caused by mutations in DNA damage repair genesHNPCC, also known as Lynch syndrome, accounts for about 3-5% of all colorectal cancers
![Page 8: Gene 210 Cancer Genomics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062807/56815055550346895dbe56cf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
•Individuals with FAP usually develop hundreds or thousands of polyps in their colon and rectum•Cancer usually develops in 1 or more polyps as early as age 20•By age 40, most people with this disorder will develop cancer •Surgery to remove colon is a preventive treatment for FAP individuals
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)

Class Exercise•You work for a new genome interpretation startup company
•Your first customer sends you tumor biopsy DNA samples from 8 cancer patients
•You perform genomic analyses on tumor biopsies and generate exome sequence and expression analyses for several major cancer susceptibility genes for each patient (cytogenetic analysis; DNA sequence for BRCA1, BRCA2, EGFR, BRAF; expression analysis for estrogen receptor, HER2, MET)
•Use personalized tumor genetic profile to suggest appropriate targeted therapy
•Discuss rationale for each therapeutic choice (what is genetic lesion? What defect (e.g. signaling pathway) does this cause? What does the chosen therapy target?)
