MUTYH variants are differently distributed in geographical areas of the world. In MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) patients from North-Eastern Italy, c.933+3A>C (IVS10+3A>C), a transversion causing an aberrant splicing process, accounts for nearly 1/5 of all mutations. The aim of this study was to verify whether its high frequency in North-Eastern Italy is due to a founder effect and to clarify its impact on...
