Abstract excerpt
MUTYH adenomatous polyposis (MAP) can mimic both the familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) phenotypes. As a result of MAP's phenotypic overlap with FAP, some DNA diagnostic laboratories perform MUTYH testing in conjunction with APC testing in patients with suspected FAP or attenuated FAP (AFAP). In addition to testing FAP/AFAP samples for MUTYH mutations, we were...
