Dysbiosis in pre-cancerous mucosa may drive immune dysfunction – a study of immune system: microbiota interaction in familial adenomatous polyposis
2021-05-13

<h4>Objectives</h4> Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a condition caused by a constitutional pathogenic variant of the adenomatous polyposis coli ( APC ) gene that results in intestinal adenoma formation and colorectal cancer (CRC), necessitating pre-emptive colectomy.
