It has been recently claimed that a new DNA model for bowel and womb cancer helps in diagnosing people, who are at higher risk of the disease. An international group of scientists along with one form Cardiff University have published this research in the journal Nature Genetics.

They have been continuing in their research to find out that how an inherited condition, Lynch Syndrome, can increase risk of developing cancers.

Dr. Ian Frayling, from Cardiff University's Institute of Medical Genetics, said that with the help of this new DNA model they will be able to confidently diagnose patients suffering with Lynch Syndrome. He added that this model also helps in analyzing higher risks of cancer among patients with Lynch Syndrome.

Dr. Ian Frayling is also the member of the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumors (InSiGHT). “What we have been able to do is effectively refining genetic information in the InSiGHT database and provide a more accurate answer of the risk of getting cancer”, said Dr. Ian.

He added that by early diagnosing of the disease, will help doctors to save more lives of patients. Also, patients will be offered more accurate details of their disease, which will help them in taking early preventive measures against the cancer.
