Multiple Colorectal Adenomas, Classic Adenomatous Polyposis, and Germ-Line Mutations in<i>MYH</i>
27 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germ-line mutations in the base-excision-repair gene MYH have been associated with recessive inheritance of multiple colorectal adenomas. Tumors from affected persons displayed excess somatic transversions of a guanine-cytosine pair to a thymine-adenine pair (G:C-->T:A) in the APC gene. METHODS: We screened for germ-line MYH mutations in 152 patients with multiple (3 to 100) colorectal adenomas and...
