Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the tumor-suppresor APC gene are associated with hereditary familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and somatic mutations are common in sporadic colorectal cancer. In this study, we report the identification of three novel germline mutations: 1682-1683insA, 3252-3253insAT, 3544A>T and a new somatic mutation 4130-4131delTT, all giving rise to truncated APC proteins. The majority of the mutations...
