Abstract excerpt
The genetic basis for the majority of early onset or non-syndromic "familial" colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown. Attenuated APC phenotype is characterized by relatively few colonic polyps, early age at onset of colon cancer compared with the general population, and inactivating germline mutations within specific regions of the APC gene. We hypothesized that germline mutations within these APC gene regions, might...
