    Introduction. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second highest cause of cancer mortality in developed countries. In Colombia, CRC ranks fifth as a cause of cancer death. Approximately 75% of CRC appear to be spontaneous and 25% are familial, with 5% of the latter clearly hereditary. Of these, hereditary non-polyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC)-or Lynch syndrome is the most important.Objective. Herein, the two most important genes involved in Lynch syndrome, the hMLH1 and hMSH2 were analyzed for presence of mutations.Materials And Methods. Seventeen Colombian families that fulfilled the Amsterdam II criteria or Bethesda guidelines for Lynch syndrome were selected. The of 35 exons of hMLH1 and hMSH2 genes were screened by SSCP and those with electrophoretic variants were sequenced.Results. Eight germinal mutations were detected, corresponding to a 47% detection mutation rate. Six of the eight mutations have previously been reported. These consisted of the following mutations: a single base substitution at the donor splicing site of exon 9, a single base substitution (A>G) at codon 755 of the exon 17, and another single base substitution (G>A) at codon 681 of exon 18. The two novel mutations consisted of a single base substitution (C>T) at codon 640 of exon 17 of the hMLH1 gene and a two-nucleotide deletion (TG) at codon 184 of exon 3 of hMSH2 gene. In addition, two families were observed with a polymorphism in the intron 13 (G>A) nt 1558+14, of hMLH1 gene.Conclusions. This study represented the first survey for detecting mutations associated with Lynch syndrome in Colombia, and is intended to lead to the establishment of a management and prevention program.Introducci贸n. El c谩ncer colorrectal es la segunda causa de morbilidad y mortalidad por c谩ncer en los pa铆ses desarrollados. En Colombia es la quinta causa de muerte entre los diferentes c谩nceres. Cerca del 75% de 茅stos corresponde a c谩nceres espor谩dicos, alrededor del 25% son familiares, y son claramente hereditarios el 5%. De 茅stos, el m谩s importantes es el c谩ncer colorrectal no polip贸sico hereditario o s铆ndrome de Lynch. Objetivo. Analizar los dos genes m谩s importantes involucrados en el s铆ndrome de Lynch, el hMLH1 y el hMSH2. Materiales y m茅todos. En 17 familias colombianas que cumpl铆an con los criterios de 脕msterdam II o las pautas de Bethesda, se analizaron por SSCP los 35 exones de estos dos genes y las variantes electrofor茅ticas se secuenciaron. Resultados. Se detectaron 8 mutaciones de l铆nea germinal en las familias analizadas, 7 en el gen hMLH1 y 1 en hMSH2, y se encontr贸 una tasa de detecci贸n de mutaciones del 47%. Seis de las 8 mutaciones encontradas en este estudio han sido previamente reportadas en la literatura. Un cambio de una base en el sitio donador de empalme en el ex贸n 9 del gen hMLH1 (G>A) (dos familias), un cambio A>G en el cod贸n 755 del ex贸n 17, y un cambio G>A en el ex贸n 18. Se detectaron dos nuevas mutaciones, una en el ex贸n 17, un cambio C>T en el cod贸n 640, y una deleci贸n de TG en el cod贸n 184 del ex贸n 3 del gen hMSH2. Tambi茅n se detect贸 en dos familias un polimorfismo del intr贸n 13 del hMLH1. Conclusi贸n. Este es el primer estudio realizado en Colombia que detecta mutaciones en el s铆ndrome de Lynch y pretende establecer un programa integral de manejo y prevenci贸n
