Overview

Turcot syndrome is the association between familial adenomatous polyposis and brain tumors like medulloblastoma, malignant glioma. It was first reported by Canadian surgeon Jacques Turcot (1914- ) et al in 1959 and hence carries the first author's name.^[1]

The genetic basis of Turcot syndrome is uncertain.The gene most likely to be involved is APC gene in chromosome 5q.^[1] However, the syndrome has been claimed to be linked to various mutations in a number of genes. For example, the mismatch repair genes MLH1 (Online 'Mendelian Inheritance in Man' (OMIM) 120436) or PMS2 (Online 'Mendelian Inheritance in Man' (OMIM) 600259).

Synonyms

• Brain tumor-polyposis syndrome
• Glioma-polyposis syndrome
