Familial polyposis coli: the management of desmoid tumor bleeding [PDF]
There is currently no standard treatment for desmoid tumors (DTs) associated with familial polyposis coli (FAP). Familial adenomatous polyposis in DT patients is sometimes a life-threatening condition.

Adenomatous polyposis coli in cancer and therapeutic implications [PDF]
Inactivating mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene and consequential upregulation of the Wnt signaling pathway are critical initiators in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer in the United States for ...

Loss of adenomatous polyposis coli function renders intestinal epithelial cells resistant to the cytokine IL-22. [PDF]
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a critical immune defence cytokine that maintains intestinal homeostasis and promotes wound healing and tissue regeneration, which can support the growth of colorectal tumours.

Adenomatous Polyposis Coli Gene Mutations in 22 Chinese Pedigrees with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), which has a very high tendency of progression to colorectal cancer, is mainly caused by mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. This study systematically screened the APC mutations and observed the correlation of APC mutations with clinical manifestations of FAP.

A truncated protein product of the germline variant of the DUOX2 gene leads to adenomatous polyposis
Objective: In some patients with adenomatous polyposis, an identifiable pathogenic variant of known associated genes cannot be found. Researchers have studied this for decades; however, few new genes have been identified.

TALEN-mediated apc mutation in Xenopus tropicalis phenocopies familial adenomatous polyposis [PDF]
Truncating mutations in the tumor suppressor gene adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are the initiating step in the vast majority of sporadic colorectal cancers, and they underlie familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndromes.

A Two Generation of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a part of genetic polyposis syndrome which is caused by germline mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene located in chromosome 5q21. The pathognomonic features is formation of hundreds to thousands of
