Disorders / Diseases
for EPCAM gene

Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer 8 (HNPCC8) [MIM:613244]: An autosomal dominant disease

associated with marked increase in cancer susceptibility. It is characterized by a familial predisposition to

early-onset colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and extra-colonic tumors of the gastrointestinal, urological and female

reproductive tracts. HNPCC is reported to be the most common form of inherited colorectal cancer in the Western

world. Clinically, HNPCC is often divided into two subgroups. Type I is characterized by hereditary

predisposition to colorectal cancer, a young age of onset, and carcinoma observed in the proximal colon. Type II

is characterized by increased risk for cancers in certain tissues such as the uterus, ovary, breast, stomach,

small intestine, skin, and larynx in addition to the colon. Diagnosis of classical HNPCC is based on the

Amsterdam criteria: 3 or more relatives affected by colorectal cancer, one a first degree relative of the other

two; 2 or more generation affected; 1 or more colorectal cancers presenting before 50 years of age; exclusion of

hereditary polyposis syndromes. The term 'suspected HNPCC' or 'incomplete HNPCC' can be used to describe families

who do not or only partially fulfill the Amsterdam criteria, but in whom a genetic basis for colon cancer is

strongly suspected. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. HNPCC8

results from heterozygous deletion of 3-prime exons of EPCAM and intergenic regions directly upstream of MSH2,

resulting in transcriptional read-through and epigenetic silencing of MSH2 in tissues expressing EPCAM
