Increased prevalence of Barrett's esophagus in patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP). [PDF]
AbstractBarrett’s oesophagus (BE) has been associated with an increased risk of both colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer. A recent investigation reported a high frequency of BE in patients with adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)-associated polyposis (FAP).

Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (OMIM #175100) and MUTYH-associated polyposis (OMIM #608456) are rare cancerprone disorders characterized by hundreds of adenomatous polyps in the colon and rectum, which have a high probability of malignant ...

Genotypic and Phenotypic Characteristics of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer [PDF]
The genomic causes and clinical manifestations of hereditary colorectal cancer (HCRC) might be stratified into 2 groups, namely, familial (FCRC) and a limited sense of HCRC, respectively. Otherwise, FCRC is canonically classified into 2 major categories;

Germline Mutations in the Polyposis-Associated Genes BMPR1A, SMAD4, PTEN, MUTYH and GREM1 Are Not Common in Individuals with Serrated Polyposis Syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUNDRecent reports have observed that individuals with serrated polyps, some of whom meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for Serrated Polyposis Syndrome (SPS), are among those who carry germline mutations in genes associated with polyposis ...

MUTYH as an Emerging Predictive Biomarker in Ovarian Cancer
Approximately 18% of ovarian cancers have an underlying genetic predisposition and many of the genetic alterations have become intervention and therapy targets.

Management of familial adenomatous polyposis and MUTYH-associated polyposis; new insights
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) are rare inherited polyposis syndromes with a high colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Therefore, frequent endoscopic surveillance including polypectomy of relevant premalignant lesions from a young age is warranted in patients.

Duodenal carcinoma in MUTYH-associated polyposis [PDF]
Bi-allelic germline mutations in the MUTYH gene give rise to multiple adenomas and an increased incidence of colorectal cancer. In addition, duodenal adenomas and other extra-colonic manifestations have been described in MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) patients. We describe two patients with bi-allelic MUTYH gene mutations with duodenal carcinoma. The

The Mutyh base excision repair gene influences the inflammatory response in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The Mutyh DNA glycosylase is involved in the repair of oxidized DNA bases. Mutations in the human MUTYH gene are responsible for colorectal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis.

MAP (MUTYH-Associated Polyposis ) [PDF]
The phenotype is often undistinguishable from that of autosomal dominant familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) caused by mutations in APC gene. The number of adenomas is often lower in MAP (from 5 to more than 100), and affected patients are often sporadic cases.

The human gene MUTYH codes for a DNA glycosylase involved in the repair of oxidative DNA damage. Faulty MUTYH protein activity causes the accumulation of G→T transversions due to unrepaired 8-oxoG:A mismatches.
