Topic: FAP


  
  Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
FAP is an inherited colorectal cancer syndrome and accounts for 1 percent of all cases of colorectal cancer.
The colorectal polyps and cancer in attenuated FAP usually occur later in life than in FAP; however, the risk of colon cancer and upper gastrointestinal polyps is the same as in FAP.
A significant breakthrough in the diagnosis of FAP was made with the discovery of the gene on chromosome 5.

Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
The most common indication of FAP is the development of 100s to 1000s of polyps in, primarily, your large bowel (intestine).
If you are diagnosed with FAP but have not yet had a colectomy (removal of the colon), you should have a colonoscopy every year to check for polyps.  This is a procedure where a long flexible tube is used to examine the lining of your colon (large intestine).
This means that in your case, FAP may be due to other gene changes that research has not yet identified.

  What Is FAP?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
FAP occurs when a person is born with a mutation in a specific gene called the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene.
As a result, individuals with FAP tend to develop colon cancer much earlier than the general population: at an average age of 39, as opposed to 65.
In families with a history of FAP, screening for polyps should begin between age 10 and 12, and be repeated every year until polyps appear.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), also known as familial polyposis coli, adenomatous polyposis coli, or Gardner syndrome, is seen in approximately one in 8,000 individuals.
FAP is an autosomal dominant cancer genetic syndrome, which means that a child whose parent has the condition has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the familial APC gene mutation.
In FAP, the first mutation is usually inherited from either the mother or the father and is therefore present in all cells of the body.

 What is FAP?
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) also known as familial polyposis (affecting the colon), and Gardner Syndrome (colon and extracolonic manifestations), is a hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome associated with the development of hundreds to thousands of adenomatous polyps in the colorectum.
In FAP patients, brain tumors are specifically medulloblastomas presenting by the second decade of life; and thyroid cancer usually occurs by the third decade of life.
FAP encompasses a lifetime of concern affecting many generations in a family because their lives are affected in a variety of ways.

It's a sobering fact that a diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) — a hereditary syndrome triggered by mutations in a specific gene — virtually guarantees an eventual diagnosis of colon cancer, unless the colon is removed.

 EUROCONTROL - FAP
A specific project (Enhanced FAP) has been launched in order to bring improvements to the capacity planning process but whilst awaiting the results of EFAP, the necessity to perform capacity planning with a network oriented perspective remains, and this requirement is addressed within the FAP project.
FAP will therefore encompass all of the issues associated with medium term capacity profile setting, comprising performance analysis and cost-effective profile determination in order to identify a 'roadmap' for convergence to the PC-defined network delay performance target.
Specifically, this will be achieved through the now recognised FAP tool-set but the project has as one of its major objectives to improve the transparency of the planning process.
