Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Familial adenomatous polyposis is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by predisposition to cancer. Affected individuals usually develop hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps of the colon and rectum, a small proportion of which will progress to colorectal carcinoma ...
Diagnosis OMIM Petersen et al. (1989) demonstrated how one could use linkage information to modify the genetic counseling recommendations for FAP. In the family of an affected 36-year-old man with a positive family history of FAP, there were 4 asymptomatic ...
Clinical Description OMIM Gardner (1951) reported a large Utah family with intestinal polyposis that appeared to be a predisposing factor for carcinoma of the colon and rectum. Inheritance was autosomal dominant. In ensuing years, affected family members developed other abnormal growths, ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 4 unrelated patients with familial adenomatous polyposis coli, Groden et al. (1991) identified 4 different heterozygous inactivating mutations in the APC gene (611731.0001-611731.0004).

In the germline of 5 patients with FAP or Gardner syndrome, Nishisho ...

Population genetics OMIM In the Johns Hopkins Hospital Colon Polyposis Registry, established in 1973 and covering 6 states and the District of Columbia, 98 Gardner syndrome kindreds and 47 APC kindreds were recorded by April 1988. (The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (175200) was ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The APC-associated polyposis conditions include: (1) the overlapping, often indistinguishable phenotypes of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Gardner syndrome, and Turcot syndrome and (2) attenuated FAP, which has a lower colonic polyp burden and lower cancer risk:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews APC-associated polyposis conditions include classic FAP, the two overlapping phenotypes Gardner syndrome and Turcot syndrome, and attenuated FAP....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Although variation occurs among and within individuals and among and within families with identical APC mutations [Giardiello et al 1994, Friedl et al 2001], much effort has gone into making genotype-phenotype correlations. Some have suggested basing management strategies on these associations [Vasen et al 1996], whereas others feel that therapeutic decisions should not be based on genotype [Friedl et al 2001]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews APC-associated polyposis conditions may be distinguished from other inherited colon cancer conditions and other gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes by molecular genetic testing, histopathologic findings, and phenotypic characteristics. Hereditary disorders to consider in the differential diagnosis include the following:...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with an APC-associated polyposis condition, the following evaluations are recommended:...
