Familial adenomatous polyposis, abbreviated FAP and also known as familial polyposis coli, is a genetic condition that predisposes to adenomatous polyps and thus invariably results in colorectal cancer.
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant.
Gene
- APC gene.
Variants
It comes in two flavours:
- FAP (no otherwise specified - the plain vanilla flavour).
- Many polyps - typically > 100.
- Attenuated FAP, abbreviated AFAP.
- Less polyps - typically 10 to 100.[1]
- As one my think... they tend to get cancer later than (the plain vanilla) FAP.
- Less polyps - typically 10 to 100.[1]
Associations
Benign things:
Tumours:[1]
- Hepatoblastoma.
- Colorectal carcinoma.
- Gastric adenocarcinoma.
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma, cribriform-morular variant.[3]
Benign tumours:[1]
Prevalence
1/11,300-37,600 in Europe.[1]
