Intron 4 mutation in APC gene results in splice defect and attenuated FAP phenotypeDeborah W Neklason
Department of Oncological Sciences, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
Fam Cancer 3:35-40. 2004..The lack of a secondary transcript from the mutant allele suggests that incomplete exon skipping is not the molecular mechanism behind the attenuated phenotype...
Activating mutation in MET oncogene in familial colorectal cancerDeborah W Neklason
Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
BMC Cancer 11:424. 2011..Familial colorectal cancer has been linked to chromosome 7q31 by multiple affected relative pair studies. The MET proto-oncogene which resides in this chromosomal region is considered a candidate for genetic susceptibility...
Colorectal adenomas and cancer link to chromosome 13q22.1-13q31.3 in a large family with excess colorectal cancerDeborah W Neklason
Department of Oncological Sciences, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
J Med Genet 47:692-9. 2010..Fewer than 5% of colon cancers arise in the presence of a clear hereditary cancer condition; however, current estimates suggest that an additional 15-25% of colorectal cancers arise on the basis of unknown inherited factors...
Common familial colorectal cancer linked to chromosome 7q31: a genome-wide analysisDeborah W Neklason
Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 5550, USA
Cancer Res 68:8993-7. 2008..9; P = 0.02). No known familial cancer genes reside in the 7q31 locus, and thus the identified region may contain a novel susceptibility gene responsible for common familial colorectal cancer...

Large intron 14 rearrangement in APC results in splice defect and attenuated FAPTherese M F Tuohy
Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, 84112 5550, USA
Hum Genet 127:359-69. 2010..This and similar types of intronic mutations may account for a significant proportion of FAP cases where APC clinical analysis fails because of the current limitations of testing options...
Genetic testing and phenotype in a large kindred with attenuated familial adenomatous polyposisRandall W Burt
Department of Medicine, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
Gastroenterology 127:444-51. 2004..An attenuated form of familial adenomatous polyposis has been described, but the phenotype remains poorly understood...
Gonadal mosaicism and familial adenomatous polyposisAngela L Schwab

Fam Cancer 7:173-7. 2008..Parents who test negative for the mutation should be counseled about the possibility of having another affected child due to gonadal mosaicism...
Colonic adenoma risk in familial colorectal cancer--a study of six extended kindredsDeborah W Neklason
Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112 5550, USA
Am J Gastroenterol 103:2577-84. 2008..This issue is clinically relevant since several medical societies currently recommend earlier and more rigorous colorectal screening for individuals with a strong family history of CRC...

Genome Res 21:768-74. 2011..ERSA greatly expands the range of relationships that can be estimated from genetic data and is implemented in a freely available software package...
Disease-associated casein kinase I delta mutation may promote adenomatous polyps formation via a Wnt/beta-catenin independent mechanismI Chun Tsai
Department of Oncological Sciences, Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA
Int J Cancer 120:1005-12. 2007..This novel human CKIdelta mutation may alter the physiological role and enhance the transforming ability of CKIdelta through a Wnt/beta-catenin independent mechanism and thereby influence colonic adenoma development...
