Overview

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) may be classified according to the affected gene into two subtypes including FAP gene and MYH gene associated familial adenomatous polyposis. Familial adenomatous polyposis may be classified according to severity into three subtypes including profuse, intermediate, and attenuated. Familial adenomatous polyposis has less severe variants, including gardner's syndrome and turcot syndrome.

Classification

Familial adenomatous polyposis may be classified according to the affected genes into two subtypes:[1][2]

  • FAP gene associated familial adenomatous polyposis
  • MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP)

Familial adenomatous polyposis may also be classified according to severity into three subtypes:[3]

  • Profuse FAP
  • Intermediate FAP
  • Attenuated FAP
Type Characteristics Age of onset for polyp Age of onset for cancer
Profuse Thousands of polyps 15-20 35-40
Intermediate Hundreds to thousands of polyps 25-30 45-50
Attenuated Less than 100 polyps 35-40 55-60

Variants

Familial adenomatous polyposis has less severe variants, including:
