Abstract
A nucleic acid fragment capable of selectively hybridizing with the human chromosome 5 at the chromosomal region 5q20-q23 is disclosed. Also disclosed are probes which include the fragment bearing a detectable level as well as processes for presymptomatic screening for FAP and processes for the pathological classification of colonic tumors and precancerous polyps.
