Background: High rates of early colorectal cancers (CRC) are observed in Tunisia suggesting genetic susceptibility. Nevertheless, up to now no molecular studies have been performed in the Tunisian population.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical and genetic characteristics of Tunisian families suspected of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and to identify new tumoral markers for CRC susceptibility leading to distinguish patients with sporadic CRC from those with familial CRC, like HNPCC.
