APC gene mutations play a role in the initiation step of colorectal carcinogenesis in both familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and non-FAP patients. Almost all of the APC mutations are nonsense or frameshift mutations, which truncate the APC protein and are thought to inactivate normal APC function
A new method for mutation detection is described, which is a technical advancement of the protein truncation test. The new technique is non-radioactive and highly sensitive for detection of virtually all sequence mutations, which lead to a stop signal or to the shift of the translation frame. The me
