Location: 5q21-q22
Aliases: FPC, DP2
Overview:
The APC gene is mutated in people with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). FAP is an autosomal dominant disorder causing
extensive adenomatous polyps of the colon and early onset colorectal cancer.

| APC and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
|
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disorder causing extensive adenomatous polyps in the colon and early onset colorectal cancer.The disorder is characterised by mutation of the APC gene . FAP is also assciated with elevated risk
of extracolonic tumours (previously refered to as Gardner syndrome) including hepatoblastoma and thyroid carcinoma.
