Abstract excerpt
Germ-line mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). In the present study, we have used the protein truncation test to screen for mutations in exon 15 and exons 1-14 of the APC gene and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to analyze exons 1-14. We have studied nine unrelated FAP kindreds, eight with the classical phenotype and one with an...
