Abstract

We have studied three patients, one with extensive polyposis of the colon, who have constitutional interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 5. High-resolution banding studies indicated that the deletion in the patient with polyposis spans the region 5q21-q22, which includes APC, a gene involved in familial adenomatous polyposis and sporadic colon cancer. Molecular analysis with probes for sequences flanking APC confirmed this conclusion. The deletions in the other two patients, who are too young to have developed polyposis, had breakpoints within this region, precluding the use of cytogenetic analysis alone in making definitive predictions about their risks. Molecular studies resolved the uncertainty; in situ and quantitative Southern hybridizations of four probes for polymorphic segments revealed that one of the patients has a deletion of MCC, a gene which is approximately 150 kb proximal to APC, and two flanking markers. He is at increased risk for polyposis, while the other patient is not. The physical descriptions of these patients, in conjunction with cases in the literature, begin to allow delineation of two distinct 5q-syndromes. These studies also provide precise physical mapping data for D5S71, D5S81, D5S84, and MCC on 5q.
