Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common cause of hereditary colorectal cancers (CRC) and is associated with an increased risk for ovarian and endometrial cancers. There is lack of knowledge on the epidemiology of LS in the non-Caucasian populations especially in Qatar. The aim of this retrospective study is to explore the prevalence of LS in a selected high-risk cohort in the State of Qatar in addition to investigating the frequency and genotype-phenotype correlation associated with mismatch repair genes pathogenic variants. Retrospective review of medical records of 31 individuals with LS, 20 affected with colorectal cancer and 11 unaffected with family history of cancers, referred from January 2017 until August 2020. The prevalence of LS among affected and unaffected patients is 22% (20/92) and 2.2% respectively. Among affected individuals, MLH1 and MSH2 genes were highly frequent while for unaffected individuals, a recurrent PMS2 pathogenic variant was reported in several related individuals suggesting a tribal effect. This study highlights the epidemiology of LS in high-risk cohort in Qatar which helps to provide recommendations on genetic testing, and personalize surveillance and management programs
