Abstract excerpt
Presymptomatic genetic testing for the presence of a mutant allele causing familial adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) has been difficult to perform effectively in the past because DNA markers surrounding the APC gene on chromosome 5q have not been very informative. We report results of genetic linkage studies on both research families and clinical families by using D5S346, a highly polymorphic dinucleotide...
