Department of Internal Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
JAMA 302:1790-5. 2009..A number of extracolonic tumors have been associated with the disorder, including pancreatic cancer; however, the risk of pancreatic cancer in Lynch syndrome is uncertain and not quantified...
Prevalence and phenotypes of APC and MUTYH mutations in patients with multiple colorectal adenomasShilpa Grover
Division of Gastroenterology, Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
JAMA 308:485-92. 2012..Patients with multiple colorectal adenomas may carry germline mutations in the APC or MUTYH genes...
