Obesity, diabetes, old age, and genetic predisposition account for the main risk factors. Genetic knowledge has steadily increased from the historical clinicopathological classification into two pathogenic types to the molecular subdivision into four groups, highlighting that EC is not a single entity, but rather the sum of different molecular diseases with different prognoses. About 5%\u201310% of ECs show a hereditary basis attributable to germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in different susceptibility genes, including\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MMR<\/jats:italic>\n                    (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MLH1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MSH2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MSH6<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">PMS2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ),\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">POLE\/POLD1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">PTEN<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">BRCA1\/2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">MUTYH<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">NTHL1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">STK11<\/jats:italic>\n                    , which confer an increased risk of developing an early onset EC.

In this review, we will investigate the impact of germline PVs in different genes on genetic susceptibility to the development of inherited EC, discussing the potential cancer risk in mutation carriers as well as prognostic implications and current therapeutic approaches, also evaluating the possibility of carrying out a more extensive routine genetic analysis for EC women, in order to increase the diagnostic power, improve prevention and surveillance strategies in genetically predisposed subjects, and implement tailored therapies.\n
