Abstract excerpt
Segregation analysis of inheritance of adenomas, colorectal cancer (CRC), and multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMT) revealed their low penetrance: from 3.2 to 29% for homozygotes and from 2.0 to 14.4% for heterozygotes. This cast a doubt on the monogenic type of their inheritance, although it formally corresponded to the quasidominant type, i.e., only a fraction of heterozygotes was expressed. Therefore, the...
