MutYH-associated polyposis

Abstract: MutYH-associated polyposis is the only polyposis syndrome with an autosomal recessive type of inheritance, often phenotypically similar to a weakened form of familial adenomatous polyposis. For the development of the disease mutations in both alleles of the gene are required, but an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer in carriers of monoallelic mutations is noted. The diagnosis of MutYH-associated polyposis should be suspected in a patient with colorectal cancer over 45 years old on the background o… Show more

“…Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed multiple diffused polyps located in the stomach and the duodenum, and colonoscopy showed the same extent polyps of varying sizes localized in the rectosigmoid region. The onset of small intestinal malignant tumors combined with upper and lower gastrointestinal tract polyps might suggest MUTYH-associated polyposis syndrome (MAP) or Lynch syndrome ( 11 , 12 ). Nevertheless, further physical examination revealed that the patient had macrocephaly, and dermatologic examination was remarkable ( Figure 3 ).…”
