The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is proposed to function as a gatekeeper of colorectal neoplasia. A germ-line variant of this gene, the APC I1307K allele, is present in approximately 6% of the Ashkenazi Jewish population. To assess the role in tumorigenesis of the variant (A)8 tract produced by this allele, we undertook a somatic mutation analysis of the region surrounding codon 1307 in colorectal tumors...
