Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a clinically well defined hereditary disease caused by germline mutations within the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Although several techniques are applied in the mutation analysis of FAP kindreds about 20-50% of cases remain unclear, with no APC mutation identified (APC negative). AIMS: To delineate phenotypic differences between APC positive and APC...
