Thirty-nine hyperplastic polyps from 26 CUC patients, 39 sporadic hyperplastic polyps from 29 age- and sex-matched patients without CUC, and 26 colonic mucosal biopsies from 22 patients with CUC but without hyperplastic polyps were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction for loss of heterozygosity of APC, 3p, p53, and p16 and for mutations in codons 12, 13, and 61 of the K-ras gene.
