FAP and Other Hereditary Causes of Intestinal Polyps

FAP and Other Hereditary Causes of Intestinal Polyps

Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary cancer syndrome. Individuals with this condition are prone to the development of polyps in the large bowel with the potential to become cancerous in childhood and in adulthood. The two forms of FAP, classic vs. attenuated, are caused by variants in the same gene but are distinguished based on the number of polyps in affected family members. In addition to FAP, there are other genetic causes of colorectal polyposis that should be considered in individuals with this presentation.
