What kind of genetic disorder is colon cancer?
I have a research paper for biology and one of the questions that need to be answered is what type of genetic disorder is your disease. The disease I got assigned is colon cancer, and i can’t find what kind of genetic disorder it is. Would someone please inform me

Hi Ray. Below are a few links to scientific papers on heritable (genetic) types of colon cancer. They should give you a good start on your research.

Best wishes and good luck with your project.
Some types of colon cancer may be genetic. Also other colon disorders, which may run in families, such as ulcerative colitis or Chron’s Disease can lead to colon cancer.
anythign can ge genetic.
they have discovered that if ur parents r fat it will b in ur geans that u will b so is breast cancer, heart attacks, mental disorders, diabetes. eg eg u could ask ur doc all these questions so then u will get right down to the bottom of things
I AM WHAT I CALL A GUI NEE PIG
I AM A SURVIVOR OF INTESTINAL CANCER AND IT WAS GENETIC DISORDER THEY CALLED IT A G.I.S.T. IT STANDS FOR GASTRO INTESTINAL STROMA TUMOR. IT IS A VERY VERY RARE CANCER DUE TO A GENETIC DISORDER I HAVE CALLED NEUROFIBROMITOSIS .. IT IS A CANCER NEAR AND IN COLON APPROXIMATELY 7,000 GET IT A YEAR AND IS STRICTLY RELATED TO THOSE WITH THIS GENETIC DISORDER. I HAD DRS COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD BECAUSE OF THE RARE CANCER . CHECK ON LINE UNDER THE NAME OF NEUROFIBROMITOSIS OR GIST AND SEE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
