Lynch syndrome integrative epidemiology and genetics (LINEAGE): rationale for cohort design.

LINEAGE cohort design: integrative epidemiology of Lynch syndrome to measure penetrance and modifiers

LINEAGE (Lynch syndrome Integrative Epidemiology And GEnetics) is a cohort designed to integrate genomic, environmental, clinical, and biomarker data to quantify real-world Lynch syndrome penetrance and identify risk modifiers. The article describes the rationale and design of this integrative cohort, addressing the persistent challenge of highly variable penetrance in Lynch syndrome. ⚠️ Summary based on title/source (abstract unavailable — authors/PMID to verify via DOI).

Penetrance variability in Lynch syndrome remains one of the major challenges in cancer genetic counseling. A cohort integrating genomic data, environmental exposures (diet, NSAIDs, tobacco), and large-scale endoscopic surveillance data is the necessary approach to move beyond current estimates derived from biased hospital series.
