Inherited predisposition to colorectal neoplasia.

Abstract excerpt

This review concentrates on the genetics of colorectal neoplasia. There is now a greater understanding of the molecular genetics of the inherited condition familial adenomatous polyposis and of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in non-inherited colorectal cancer. We consider the evidence that sporadic colorectal cancer may also have an underlying genetic susceptibility.
