Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene tend to cluster in discrete regions. Some of these mutations occur frequently in familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP) patients, and strategies for genetic diagnosis of the disease should include simple methods for their detection. We studied a total of 48 FAP-affected or "at-risk" members from 31 unrelated FAP pedigrees. Unrelated patients were...
