 N/A American Founder Mutation Study Aims to describe prevalence of a large genomic deletion encompassing exons 1 to 6 of the MSH2 gene that is widespread in the U.S population as a result of a founder effect. Click here for details on American Founder Mutation (AFM) families and publications. Heather Hampel 
 N/A Hyperplastic Polyposis Study A cohort study of patients with unusual colon polyp histology (i.e. mixed polyposis) for which we hope to identify and correlate with alterations in known and putative cancer susceptibility gene(s) and pathways of polyp formation. Tumor blocks are requested and reviewed, gene analysis is primarily done through research collaborations. Kevin Sweet
