Overview

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of familial adenomatous polyposis include APC and MUTYH genes.

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

Genetics

  • Familial adenomatous polyposis may have different inheritance patterns and genes involved.
  • Familial adenomatous polyposis is due to mutations in different genes, including:[1]
    • APC gene, which is located on chromosome 5 in band q21 or band q22 (5q21-q22)
      • Three hundred mutations of APC gene have been discovered for familial adenomatous polyposis.
      • They have premature stop codons and lead to a truncated protein.
      • Mutation is seen in 6% of Ashkenazi Jews.
      • Mutation is seen in about 28% of those of Ashkenazi descent with a family history of colorectal cancer.
    • MUTYH gene, which is located on chromosome 1 between bands p34.2 and p32.1 (1p34.3-p32.1)

6% of Ashkenazi Jews and in about 28% of those of Ashkenazi descent with a family history of colorectal cancer.

Associated Conditions
