Abstract excerpt
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer caused by germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene located on chromosome segment 5q21-q22. We detected a germline rearrangement of the APC gene in a Dutch FAP family by screening genomic DNA samples with APC cDNA probes. Subsequent molecular and cytogenetic studies revealed a constitutional reciprocal...
