Identifying Patients At-Risk for Adenomatous Polyposis Syndromes
Increasingly, direct genetic testing for germline mutations in APC or MYH genes is used to diagnose adenomatous polyposis syndromes in those with a suggestive personal or family history. Individuals who should be offered genetic testing for adenomatous polyposis syndromes are:32
Individuals who are clinically affected with FAP (100 or more colorectal adenomas)
Individuals with "multiple" colorectal adenomas (usually 10 or more cumulative adenomas)
Relatives of APC or MYH mutation carriers, as appropriate

Genetic testing will allow you to identify patients with adenomatous polyposis syndromes and then adjust their medical management accordingly.
