Figure 2

Haplotypes of the families. Pedigrees of FAP families with confirmed APC de novo mutation. Family number and mutation description are above the pedigree. (A) The six families with a maternal origin of the APC new mutation. (B) The four families with a paternal origin of the APC new mutation. (C) The five families where the parental origin of the APC new mutation could not be determined. General symbols: squares, males; circles, females; all symbols with a diagonal, deceased. Open symbols, clinically unaffected; half filled, clinically and histologically verified FAP; solid, colorectal cancer. Probands are indicated with an arrow. The parental age at birth of the proband are given below the symbols. Alleles of the microsatellites are determined in length (bp) and inferred results are in brackets. Haplotypes are displayed as vertical bars, and only the supposed disease haplotype is shown. Mut neg/mut pos/NT above the haplotype indicate if the family mutation has been identified by direct sequencing in the person or has not been tested (NT).
