Bi-allelic MUTYH gene mutations are associated with a clinical phenotype of multiple colorectal adenomas and an increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). It is unclear whether mono-allelic MUTYH gene carriers (heterozygotes) are also at increased risk for even few adenomas or cancer. In order to clarify an association between MUTYH heterozygotes and adenomas, we evaluated the frequency and types of MUTYH...
