Abstract excerpt
Germ-line mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene result in familial adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), an inherited syndrome that predisposes affected individuals to early onset of colorectal cancer. Somatic APC mutations also have been detected in sporadic colon tumors. We have used single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis to scan a region of the APC gene that frequently is...
