  1. Turcot syndrome: Turcot syndrome is a condition characterized by multiple adenomatous colon polyps, an increased risk of colorectal cancer , and an increased risk of brain cancer. It may be associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome (also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer or HNPCC). The molecular basis of most Turcot syndrome is either a mutation in APC associated with FAP or a mutation in one of the mismatch repair genes associated with Lynch syndrome (MLH1 and PMS2) . The brain tumors in individuals with APC mutations are typically medulloblastoma , whereas those with mismatch repair mutations are usually glioblastoma multiforme .Turcot syndrome typically follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
