Definition
A fairly rare clinical syndrome, presumed to confer genetic susceptibility to cancer, associating primary brain tumors (medulloblastoma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma) with familial colonic polyposis or colorectal cancers.
Turcot syndrome is caused by a mutation in the APC, MLH1, or PMS2 gene.
