Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the APC gene are responsible for the dominantly inherited colon cancer syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). We have designed PCR primers which allow amplification by RT-PCR of exons 1-14 of the APC gene in six overlapping segments. The amplicons have been screened for the presence of mutations in patients affected with FAP using heteroduplex analysis. One patient has been identified with...
