Does anyone have both MUTYH colon cancer gene mutations (MAP)?
I have autosomal recessive genetic colon cancer gene mutations (biallelic) called MUTYH-Associated Polyposis (MAP). This means that both of my parents were carriers and I inherited both genes (25% chance). Over the last 30 years, I've had 126 colon polyps removed (all types, all locations). I'm interested in connecting with others who has this rare condition. Thanks

Hi. I had the same surgery in 2023. Total Colectomy with ileo-rectal anastomosis. Mine was done using the DaVinci robotic. It's amazing that we live in a world with this type of technology in the hands of skilled surgeons.
