Abstract excerpt
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited form of colorectal cancer (CRC) caused by mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. However, APC mutations are not detected in 10-50% of FAP patients. We searched for a new cancer gene by performing genome-wide genotyping on members of an APC mutation-negative FAP variant family and ethnicity-matched healthy controls. No common...
