What kind of genetic disorder is colon cancer

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

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.

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. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15947872?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=3&log$=relatedreviews&logdbfrom=pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15725711?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=5&log$=relatedreviews&logdbfrom=pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16579336?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=5&log$=relatedreviews&logdbfrom=pubmed Here is a link to another source: http://www.oncolink.org/resources/article.cfm?c=3&s=38&ss=156&id=353 One more source of basic information: http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:oRnYxqZilfgJ:depts.washington.edu/cgph/newsletters/CGPH%2520Spotlight_March%2708_issue_on_Colon_Cancer_Screening_final.pdf+CDC+hereditary+colon+cancer&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us Best wishes and good luck with your project.
