Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germline mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene on chromosome 5 causes familial adenomatous polyposis. "Attenuated" phenotype has been reported with mutation in the 5' end of the gene (5' to codon 158), but genotype-phenotype relations at the 3' end (3' to codon 1596) have not been described fully. AIMS: To describe and compare colorectal and extracolonic phenotypes in a case series of...
