Familial adenomatous polyposis‐associated and sporadic pyloric gland adenomas of the upper gastrointestinal tract share common genetic features

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome caused by a germline APC mutation. A recent study showed the enrichment of pyloric gland adenomas (PGAs) of the stomach, in addition to fundic gland polyps (FGPs) and foveolar-type adenomas (FAs), in patients with FAP. In the present study, we analysed the genetic alterations in these FAP-associated gastric lesions. METHODS...
