Abstract excerpt
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by a mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Some studies have attempted to correlate mutations at codon 1309 with classic FAP (≥100 colorectal polyps). We report two Chinese FAP pedigrees with new frameshift mutations at codon 1309, in which affected individuals manifest phenotypic variations. Comprehensive...
