My sister has Lynch, how do I get tested?

Q: My sister was just diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome. Should I get tested and how?

A: Since Lynch syndrome is inherited from one of your parents, you have a 50/50 chance of also having Lynch syndrome. You can test through your physician’s office or by a home testing company. It helps to have a genetic counselor guide you through this process.  More information is available in the Families – Genetic Testing  Families – Genetic Testing page.
