neoplasm
• intestinal polyps are polyploid, papillary, or sessile adenoma; every polyp consists of a microadenoma covered with a normal layer of villous epithelium
(J:25200)
• increase in incidence follows loss of normal Apc allele in nascent polyps
(J:25200)
• numerous intestinal tumors develop in homozygotes
(J:79668)
• most tumors are small; one animal developed a tumor >6 mm in diameter
(J:79668)

• multiple polyps develop soon after birth; all heterozygotes develop polyps by 7 weeks of age and numbers increase with age
• polyps are found from duodenum to rectum, mainly in small intestine
