Abstract

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is the commonest form of inherited form of CRC. It comprises of about 5% of all the colorectal cancers (CRCs). FAP patients have a family history of CRC that suggests a genetic contribution, common exposures among family members, or a combination of both. This case report gives a glimpse of the phenotypic manifestation of FAP and the underlying molecular mechanism which leads to FAP, in addition it also sheds a light on the management of FAP in early stages of life.
