Description : Autosomal recessive colorectal adenomatous polyposis is a disorder characterized by adult-onset of multiple colorectal adenomas and adenomatous polyposis. Affected individuals have a significantly increased risk of colorectal cancer (summary by Sieber et al., 2003). Cheadle and Sampson (2003) reviewed the molecular pathology and biochemistry of MYH colonic polyposis.
