Mutation cluster region, association between germline and somatic mutations and genotype-phenotype correlation in upper gastrointestinal familial adenomatous polyposis.

Abstract excerpt

Studies of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutations in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have focused on large bowel disease. It has been found that: 1) germline APC mutations around codon 1300 are associated with severe colorectal polyposis; 2) somatic APC mutations in colorectal tumors tend to cluster approximately between codons 1250 and 1450; and 3) patients with germline mutations close to codon 1300...
