HNPCC Registries

I'd like to create a faq comprised of links to different institutions that offer genetic counseling and specialized medical attention via registries, but I am unsure on the proper format (under external links or appropriate for its own section?) 71.242.244.186 02:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Housekeeping of the HNPCC Article

The previous person to edit this article or maybe even originally write this article had a few style errors in regards to article format (too many bold usages, etc.). I fixed this, and added some relevant academic sources. I also added some interesting information. I don't have time now, but someone should definitely fix the diagnosis and genetics sections of this article. Removal of genetic criteria from the diagnosis section, as well as elaboration of the genetics in the appropriate section, would really make this article worth while. Cheers!

excuse me, but what's up with

"Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is responsible for approximately 2 percent to 7 percent of all diagnosed cases of pipinich has narcolepsy and grows special tomatoes colorectal cancer." in paragraph three or so? this sentence makes no sense.

Good call--it's gone. Wikicruft.--Dr.michael.benjamin 06:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer → Lynch syndrome — Aetiologic (talk 05:49, 2 November 2009 (UTC) I'd like to suggest that we make several changes here:

  1. turn HNPCC into a stub (more or less)
  2. Stop the redirect from Lynch Syndrome
  3. Revise most of the content of the current HNPCC page to read "Lynch"
  4. Put a link from HNPCC to Lynch.

My rationale is simply that Lynch is the underlying disorder and the new potential therapies for Lynch may have applicability outside of colon cancers. So, I think Lynch should be the single point of entry and it should be predominant over HNPCC. The goal here is to drive HNPCC traffic back to Lynch.

I have created a draft page here, but apparently this violates Misplaced Pages attribution rules, which I wasn't intending to do. The right way to do this is to request a move and invite discussion, so that is what I am doing. The link does gives an idea as to the new content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aetiologic (talk • contribs)

Thanks to Tim Song for guiding me through this wilderness.
