Explaining variation in familial adenomatous polyposis: relationship between genotype and phenotype and evidence for modifier genes.
BACKGROUND: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterised by variable phenotypic expression. Part of this is attributable to a relationship between APC genotype and phenotype but there remains significant intrafamilial variation. In the Min mouse model of FAP, differences in the severity of...
