Cancer might develop as early as the age of five, though typically presents later than classical FAP. [1] See also [ edit ] Familial adenomatous polyposis Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome Cowden syndrome Cronkhite-Canada syndrome Juvenile polyposis MUTYH Peutz-Jeghers [en.wikipedia.org]

It is important to note that approximately 20% to 30% of FAP cases are caused by new mutations, meaning that an APC germline mutations may be present in an individual even if it is absent in both parents. 84 Also, due to the autosomal recessive inheritance [myriadgenetics.eu]

In our sample, cancer was present in three of four patients with MUTYH biallelic mutations, in two of three with monoallelic mutations, and only in 2 of the 18 patients without mutations. [nature.com]

(Etiology) The common causes of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Syndrome include: Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation In the majority of cases, this is a mutation in the APC tumor suppressor gene that is located on chromosome [dovemed.com]

Clearly, there are cases of unknown etiology, and there are probably as-yet unidentified genes that may predispose to adenomatosis. But changing technologies and testing standards can also affect interpretation of genetic test results. [familyhistorybowelcancer.wordpress.com]

Etiology FAP is caused by a germline mutation of the APC tumor suppressor gene, located on band 5q21. Most mutations of the APC gene are nonsense or frameshift mutations, leading to truncation of the APC protein (nonfunctional protein). [emedicine.medscape.com]

Colon cancer is virtually always prevented by screening and properly timed colectomy. This is similar for duodenal cancer. Other cancers are usually detected early, rather than prevented. [rarediseases.org]

As a consequence, only 15-30% of CRC patients and their relatives who would qualify for referral are appropriately referred for preventive measures. These delays in detecting and managing cancer can lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality. [dare.uva.nl]
