Penetrance The cumulative risk of DGC for CDH1 mutation carriers by age 80 years is reported to be 70% for men and 56% for women Furthermore, the cumulative risk of LBC for women with a CDH1 mutation is estimated to be 42% by 80 years. There is currently no evidence that the risk of other cancer types in individuals with a CDH1 mutation is significantly increased. Van der Post C et al; J Med Genet 52:361,2015
Clinical features Clinical criteria for the identification of families with HDGC Criteria for identification of HDGC families were defined by IGCLC in 1999: 1) Two or more documented cases of diffuse gastric cancer in first/second degree relatives, with at least one diagnosed before the age of 50 2) Three or more cases of documented diffuse gastric cancer in first/second degree relatives, independently of age Caldas C, Carneiro F, Lynch H et al: Familial gastric cancer: overview and guidelines for management. J Med Genet 36: 873, 1999 IGCLC criteria for genetic testing were updated in 2010: 1) Idem 2) Idem 3) Diffuse gastric cancer before the age of 40 years without a family history 4) Families with diagnoses of both diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer, with one case before the age of 50 years Fitzgerald R et al: Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: updated consensus guidelines for clinical management and directions for future research.

Dysplasia in fundic gland polyps
astric Adenocarcinoma and Proximal Polyposis of the Stomach
Diagnostic criteria for GAPPS i) gastric polyps restricted to the body and fundus with no evidence of colorectal or duodenal polyposis; ii) >100 polyps carpeting the proximal stomach in the index case or >30 polyps in a first degree relative of another case; iii) predominantly FGPs, some having regions of dysplasia (or a family member with either dysplastic FGPs or gastric adenocarcinoma); iv) an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Exclusions include other heritable gastric polyposis syndromes and use of PPIs. In patients on PPIs it is recommended to repeat the endoscopy off therapy.
