Background: Obtaining an accurate pedigree is the first step in recognizing a patient with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, or Lynch syndrome. However, lack of standardization of the degree of relationship included in the pedigrees generally limits obtaining a complete and/or accurate pedigree.
Design: This study analyzed the extent of pedigree required to screen for colorectal cancer and to diagnose Lynch syndrome.
