Abstract excerpt
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is caused by germline mutations in the tumor suppressor gene APC. To date, the relevance of rare exonic single-base substitutions at nucleotide positions close to splice sites that are predicted to result in missense or silent (SNP) variants or substitutions in introns at splice-site positions that are not highly conserved has not been systematically examined in FAP patients....
