Abstract excerpt
Hereditary colon cancer is caused by mutations in several different loci. The APC gene on chromosome 5 causing adenomatous polyposis coli represents a minority of the inherited colon cancer cases, while hereditary-non polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) may cause five percent of all human colon cancer. One gene causing HNPCC was recently mapped to chromosome 2 but the same study also showed that at least one...
