Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited colorectal cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germ line mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene (APC). For prophylactic colectomy, timely identification of patients at risk is urgent. Here, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization - time of flight - mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) genotyping is offered for an...
