Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I mōhio tonu a Sharron O'Neill he mea kei a ia. Ahakoa i mua i tana kitenga i te mate pukupuku i a ia e taiohi ana, i mohio ia he kaha ake te hononga o tōna whānau ki te mate whakamate i ētahi atu. I te kitenga o Ms. O'Neill i te mate o Lynch i te mutunga o ona tau 20, he mate iranga e nui ake ai te mate o te mate pukupuku, i kii ia ehara i te mea ohorere. Ko Sharron O'Neil rāua ko tōna whaea, ko Jilian Carter, he mate Lynch rāua. He mate iranga tēnei e 85% ake ai te tūponotanga o te tangata ki te mate pukupuku. 'I mōhio tonu tō mātou whānau he mea kei reira; kāore i mōhio he ira, he mea motuhake rānei,' i kī a Ms O'Neill. Engari, i taku kitenga i te mate o Lynch me te mohio he aha te mea, ka timata katoa ki te mohio. I kitea a Mrs O'Neill he mate pukupuku whekau i a ia e 19 noa iho. I te wiki i mua ake, kua mate tana kuia i te mate pukupuku o te kopu. I kitea tona whaea he mate pukupuku uterine i te 39 o ona tau. He nui ake te roa o te hītori o tōna whānau ki te mate pukupuku, e ai ki a Ms. O'Neill, i kitea e ia neke atu i te 200 tau ki muri. 'Ko te tawhiti rawa atu i taea e au te haere ki muri ko te whanaunga i tae mai ki Ahitereiria i runga i te poti hei pani i nga tau moata o te 1800,' ka mea ia. E ono nga whakatupuranga e mohiotia ana e au. Ko te mate Lynch he mate iranga e kaha ake ai te mate o te mate pukupuku tae atu ki te mate pukupuku o te kopu, te mate pukupuku o te ovarian, te mate pukupuku o te endometrial, te mate pukupuku pancreatic, me te mate pukupuku o te kopu, me etahi atu. Ko te 85 ōrau o te tūponotanga o te hunga whai ira ki te mate pukupuku i mua i te 70 o o rātau tau. I mate te tupuna tupuna o Ms. O'Neill i te mate pukupuku. E rima tau noa iho i muri mai, ka mate ano hoki te tuahine o tōna kuia. I kī a ia, mai i taua wā ka 'kōrerorero' te whānau. I ngā tau e whai ake nei, e whā o ngā tamariki e rima e toe ana, tae atu ki te kuia o Ms O'Neill, e toru anō ngā mate pukupuku o te Lynch syndrome, e tata ana ki te kotahi tangata ia tekau tau. Ngā hononga whānau: Ko te kuia o Mrs O'Neil i roto i ngā ringa o tōna tupuna. Ko te kaikorero o Lynch Syndrome Ahitereiria a Beth Fairbank i kii tata ki te 20,000 nga Ahitereiria e whai ana i te ira...
