In a clinical pathology setting, epigenetic testing is rare and underutilised. In this chapter, we describe a patient with early-onset colorectal cancer caused by a constitutional epimutation. This case study emphasises the importance of epigenetic testing when standard genetic testing has failed to identify a cause for disease predisposition.
