Effective measures for the primary prevention of familial adenomatous polyposis include genetic counseling. The most common method is direct sequencing of the APC gene.
Primary prevention
- Effective measures for the primary prevention of familial adenomatous polyposis include genetic counseling.[1]
- If there is a family history of specific APC gene mutation, all first degree relatives must be tested before puberty.
- The most common method is direct sequencing of the APC gene.
