    Lynch syndrome (LS) markedly increases risks of colorectal and endometrial cancers. Early detection biomarkers for LS cancers could reduce the needs for invasive screening and surgical prophylaxis.To validate a panel of methylated DNA markers (MDM) previously identified in sporadic colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer for discrimination of these cancers in LS.In a case-control design, previously identified MDMs for the detection of colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer were assayed by qMSP on tissue-extracted DNA. Results were normalized to ACTB values within each sample. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator models to classify colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer were trained on sporadic cases and controls and then applied to classify colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer, in those with LS, and cross-validated.We identified colorectal cancer cases (23 with LS, 48 sporadic), colorectal controls (32 LS, 48 sporadic), endometrial cancer cases (30 LS, 48 sporadic), and endometrial controls (29 LS, 37 sporadic). A 3-MDM panel (LASS4, LRRC4, and PPP2R5C) classified LS-CRC from LS controls with an AUC of 0.92 (0.84-0.99); results were similar for sporadic colorectal cancer. A 6-MDM panel (SFMBT2, MPZ, CYTH2, DIDO1, chr10.4479, and EMX2OS) discriminated LS-EC from LS controls with an AUC of 0.92 (0.83-1.0); the AUC for sporadic endometrial cancer versus sporadic controls was nominally higher, 0.99 (0.96-1.0).MDMs previously identified in sporadic endometrial cancer and colorectal cancer discriminate between endometrial cancer and benign endometrium and colorectal cancer and benign colorectum in LS. This supports the inclusion of patients with LS within future prospective clinical trials evaluating endometrial cancer and colorectal cancer MDMs and may provide a new avenue for cancer screening or surveillance in this high-risk population.
