Core Tip	The risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) can have genetic influences, especially when there is a family history of the disease. Much of this genetic predisposition to develop cancer is already known, including high-penetrance genes, i.e., those responsible for hereditary cases, and low-penetrance alleles, which are responsible for both sporadic and familial cases. However, despite recent developments in gene identification techniques, the genetic causes of many hereditary cases remain unknown. This review details the hereditary CRC syndromes and their genetic causes, the roles of low- and moderate-risk genetic factors in familial cases and the state-of-the-art in the identification of new causal genes.
