| | Familial Adenomatous Polyposis |
 | | Osteomas are bony growths found most commonly on the skull and mandible; however, they may occur in any bone of the body. | | | Linkage testing is not available to families with a single affected individual, a situation that often occurs when an individual has a | | | APC gene to confirm the diagnosis if clinical diagnostic criteria are not satisfied. |

| | Because adenomas do not generally develop until the second of third decade of life in FAP patients, attempts to prevent this development in presymptomatic individuals with suitable drugs may prove worthwhile. | | | Table 2: Germ-line mutations of the APC gene in FAP patients and somatic mutations in sporadic colorectal cancers. | | | Finally, the demonstration that APC is mutated in the germ-line of FAP patients has obvious clinical implications. |

| | Mutations in the APC gene are also responsible for some other disorders related to familial adenomatous polyposis. | | | Approximately two-thirds of patients with Turcot syndrome have mutations in the APC gene. | | | This change was initially thought to be harmless, but has recently been shown to be associated with a 10 to 20 percent increased risk of colon cancer. |
