Abstract

Inheritance of mutationally altered oncogenes could predispose individuals to the development of specific tumors and account for familial tumor phenotypes. Using adjacent DNA sequence polymorphisms as genetic markers, we have examined two oncogenes, the Kirsten ras2, isolated from a human colon cancer cell line, and the Harvey ras1, isolated from a human bladder cancer cell line, for their role in the genetic etiology of inherited colon cancer in Gardner syndrome. Both oncogene loci have been shown to be unlinked to the Gardner syndrome locus and are, therefore, eliminated as candidates for the Gardner syndrome gene.
