Early detection of these hereditary gene mutations provides adequate time for tumour prevention and periodic examinations such as colonoscopy. MMR genes and other hereditary tumour genes also contribute to primary hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer and other cancers. HNPCC results from a germline mutation in one of four mismatch repair ( MMR) genes. Patients with HNPCC exhibit an up to 80% increase in the lifetime risk of colorectal cancer and an up to 60% increase in the lifetime risk of endometrial cancer. Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome (HNPCC) is the most common hereditary form of colorectal cancer. A large number of variants have been employed in various applications related to people’s lives, such as providing medication instructions, disease susceptibility testing, paternity testing, and tumour diagnosis. The Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM™) database had 13,005 entries on Octo. Over 88 million variants (84.7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 3.6 million short insertions/deletions (indels), and 60,000 structural variants) had been characterized as of 2015. The relationship between phenotype and variations in the human genome has been progressively clarified.
