Values for the affinity constant were determined, in three kits, for seric gastrin, following the Scatchard plot and Michaelis-Menten representation. The determination of the affinity constant, K, is of great value for it defines the antigen-antibody complex stability and it gives information about some aspects of the analysis system: sensitivity and antibody saturation. ; Values for the affinity constant were...
Familial adenomatous polyposis of the colon (FAP) is a dominant autosomic disease in which virtually 100% of the affected individuals develop colorectal cancer before the age of forty. The gene responsible for this disease (APC gene) is mutated in the germ line of these patients. The genetic diagnosis of FAP was initially done using linkage analysis. Because 95% of the mutations in APC gene result in a stop cod...
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is a dominant autosomic disease characterized by the development of hundreds to thousands of colonic adenomatous polyps. Affected patients have a 100% risk of colon cancer development if they are not submitted to a prophylactic colectomy. Identification of carriers depends on the detection of colonic polyps, and endoscopic surveillance must be offered to all descendents, inc...
