Dominant genes for colorectal cancer are not rare

1 May 1992

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis for colorectal cancer was investigated by complex segregation analysis of a published series of consecutive pedigrees ascertained through patients undergoing treatment for colorectal cancer. Analysis favoured a dominant gene or genes with a frequency of 0.006 with a lifetime penetrance of 0.63. These genes account for 81% of colorectal cancer in patients under 35, however, by 65 about 85% are...
