• MUTYH-associated polyposis
  5 June 2009

  MAP; MYH-associated polyposis
  Definition: MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) is a recessively inherited disorder which predisposes biallelic carriers for a high risk of polyposis and colorectal carcinoma (MAP-CRC).
  This recently recognized type of adenomatous polyposis was first documented in a Welsh kindred in which three siblings had multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinomas but lacked a germline APC mutation.
  MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) may be difficult to distinguish from (...)

  Maffucci, Maffucci disease, hemangiomatosis osteolytica
  Definition: Maffucci syndrome consists of multiple cutaneous hemangiomas, dyschondroplasia, and enchondromas with potential for malignant change. It is a subtype of enchondromatosis (Ollier disease) (MIM.166000) associating hemangiomas. As multiple enchondromatosis, Maffucci disease is caused by mutation in the PTH/PTHRP type I receptor (PTHR1) (MIM.168468).

• Wilms tumor-neuroblastoma familial association
  27 January 2010

  Wilms tumor and neuroblastoma are childhood tumors of the kidney and undifferentiated neural crest cells, respectively. Both disorders are primarily sporadic, but familial Wilms tumor pedigrees and familial neuroblastoma pedigrees are each well recognized and account for approximately 1-3% of each tumor type.
  Families with both Wilms tumor and neuroblastoma represent a previously unrecognized familial cancer syndrome in which the underlying predisposition gene(s) remain to be determined. (...)
