Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -FAP causes extra tissue (polyps) to form in your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Polyps can also occur in the upper gastrointestinal tract, especially the upper part of your small intestine (duodenum). If untreated, the polyps in the colon and rectum are likely to become cancerous when you are in your 40s.
Detailed explanation-2: -Clinical Criteria There are no clinical diagnostic criteria for AFAP. Generally, a clinical diagnosis is suspected when an individual has between 10 and 99 adenomatous colon polyps, or more than 100 polyps diagnosed at an older age than that expected for FAP (age 35–40 or older).
