The most important clinical manifestation of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is a profuse polyposis predisposing to colorectal cancer. This clinical picture emphasises the fundamental cellular role of APC in colorectal tumorigenesis. As prophylactic colorectal surgery has significantly reduced the mortality associated with this disorder, other less penetrant signs and symptoms of the condition are becoming more clinically relevant. Highlighting these problems will help improve the quality of life for patients with FAP and may have the additional benefit of shedding new light on other possible functions of the APC protein.

D011125 Adenomatous Polyposis Coli A polyposis syndrome due to an autosomal dominant mutation of the APC genes (GENES, APC) on CHROMOSOME 5. The syndrome is characterized by the development of hundreds of ADENOMATOUS POLYPS in the COLON and RECTUM of affected individuals by early adulthood.

D017491 Genes, APC Tumor suppressor genes located in the 5q21 region on the long arm of human chromosome 5. The mutation of these genes is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS COLI) and GARDNER SYNDROME, as well as some sporadic colorectal cancers.
