Familial adenomatous polyposis, abbreviated FAP and also known as familial polyposis coli and adenomatous polyposis coli, is a genetic condition that predisposes to adenomatous polyps and thus invariably results in colorectal cancer.
Gardner syndrome[1] is a subset of FAP. Both FAP and Gardner syndrome have a mutation in the FAP gene.[2]
General
- Life expectancy 40-50 years.[3]
Leading causes of death in FAP (according to The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons):[4]
- Colorectal carcinoma.
- Desmoid tumour.
- Ampullary adenocarcinoma (a type of duodenal adenocarcinoma).
Inheritance
- Autosomal dominant.
Gene
- APC gene[2] mutation.
Variants
FAP comes in two main flavours:
- FAP (not otherwise specified - the plain vanilla flavour).
- Many polyps - typically > 100.
- Attenuated FAP, abbreviated AFAP.
Gardner syndrome
FAP with prominent extraintestinal manifestations - including:[5]
- Osteomas.
- Desmoid tumours.
- Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.
- Fibromas.
- Epidermal inclusion cysts.[2]
- Osteosclerotic jaw lesions.[2]
Mneumonic DO STOP (modified):[8]
- Desmoid-type fibromatosis.
- Osteoma.
- Skin lesions - multiple lipomas.[7] ‡
- Thyroid carinoma - papillary thyroid carcinoma cribriform morular variant.[2]
- Osteosclerotic jaw lesions.
- Polyps, adenomatous.
Note:
- Osteochondroma does not appear to be part of the syndrome, as suggested by pathologyexpert.com.[8]
- ‡ Sebaceous cysts are considered the classic lesion;[8][9] however, they are not considered a useful predictor of FAP.[7]
Turcot syndrome
The term is somewhat ambiguous and probably ought to be avoided:
- Half et al.[5] says Turcot syndrome is FAP associated with a medulloblastoma... while OMIM says Turcot syndrome is tied to Lynch syndrome and autosomal recessive.[2]
FAP associations
Benign things:
Malignant tumours:[5]
- Hepatoblastoma.
- Medulloblastoma.
- Colorectal carcinoma.
- Gastric adenocarcinoma.
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma cribriform-morular variant.[11]
Benign tumours:[5]
Prevalence
1/11,300-37,600 in Europe.[5]
See also
- Colorectal carcinoma.
- Adenomatous polyps.
- MUTYH polyposis syndrome - an autosomal recessive polyposis syndrome.
