Abstract excerpt
In the course of presymptomatic diagnosis in families with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) we screened 202 unrelated patients for mutations in the APC gene. Germ-line mutations were identified in 20.8% of the index patients by a single step screening procedure based on heteroduplex analysis of a PCR product encompassing codons 1027-1384 of the APC gene.
