Germline mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli gene are associated with the dominantly inherited syndrome of familial adenomatous polyposis. Somatic mutations in this gene are an early event in sporadic colorectal tumorigenesis. Here we report a family with genetic characteristics that do not
Endocrine neoplasms have been reported occasionally in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). An adrenocorotical carcinoma was studied in a patient with a family history of FAP. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the region close to the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene was detected in
X-linked hydrocephalus is caused by mutations in the gene for neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM). In this report, we describe identification of a mutation in an isolated case of hydrocephalus with adducted thumbs. Tracing the origin of the mutation within the family showed a degree of somatic
