Abstract excerpt
Patients with multiple (5-100) colorectal adenomas (MCRAs) often have no germline mutation in known predisposition genes, but probably have a genetic origin. We collected a set of 25 MCRA patients with no detectable germline mutation in APC, MYH/MUTYH or the mismatch repair genes. Extracolonic tumours were absent in these cases. No vertical transmission of the MCRA phenotype was found. Based on the precedent of...
