How Is Lynch Syndrome Diagnosed?
Lynch syndrome is diagnosed by genetic testing of a blood sample and often involves testing for multiple gene variants.
Prior to genetic testing for Lynch syndrome, individuals should be counseled about screening benefits (early initiation of cancer screening if Lynch syndrome is diagnosed or reassurance if Lynch syndrome is ruled out) and risks (potential difficulty with insurability and psychological consequences of being diagnosed with a genetic disease).
