Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are responsible for the disease familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a dominantly inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer. The most common extra-colonic manifestation is congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), expressed in up to 90% of FAP kindreds. Chain-terminating APC mutations were characterised in 26 unrelated FAP...
