...Mengyuan Yang; Lila Zhu; Lizhen Zhu; Dong Xu; Ying Yuan Background: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is most commonly caused by germline variants in the adenomatous polyposis coli ( APC ) gene. Although definite pathogenic variants could be detected in the majority of individuals with FAP...

Visualization of the major duodenal papilla (MDP) with a standard esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is currently insufficient because of the limited field of view. Full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE), utilizing double imagers located...

... on the presenting features and recommended screening and treatment protocols for six syndromes that predispose to colorectal carcinoma. The underlying genetic basis of each syndrome will be discussed, as well as specific guidelines for patient identification. Familial adenomatous polyposis will be covered first...

... a defined susceptibility gene mutation can be found. The past 20 years has seen the discovery genes for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), its variant forms (attenuated FAP and the recessive MYH -associated polyposis or MAP), nonadenomatous polyposes, and hereditary nonpolyposis CRC (HNPCC). A few...

... syndromes. The paradigm for hereditary CRC is familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), wherein the APC germ-line mutation has been identified. This has contributed to the elucidation of genomic and clinical heterogeneity within the syndrome, wherein an attenuated form of FAP has been identified as a result...
