DESCRIPTION:	 \n	 \n	 \n	  			"I believed I was living a truncated life... so, I never 
 took a new day for granted."			 			Travis Bray			Founder, FAPFoundation			 
 			 						Above:  Travis Bray speaks to La Societe Deux Magots (LSDM) on 18
  Feb 2014, Wasatch Bagel, Park City, UT.			 			Travis H. Bray is a third ge
 neration familial adenomatours polyposis (F.A.P) survivor and understands f
 irsthand the long-reaching physical and emotional effects living with this 
 disease has on both the patient and their loved ones. By drawing upon both 
 personal experiences with F.A.P. and those of his extended family, he is mo
 tivated to developing a support net for those born or affected by F.A.P. Tr
 avis graduate with top honors for his graduate work in Actinide Chemistry a
 t Auburn University in 2008. He continued his research for two years as the
  Berkeley Actinide Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Labora
 tory, and a third year of post-doctoral research at Argonne National Labora
 tory. Travis stepped away from his career as a chemistry researcher (June, 
 2012) to found the F.A.P. Foundation.			 			Hat tip: Event			 			 						Abo
 ve:  Travis Bray presses a point as he educates LSDM members on familial ad
 enomatours polyposis, a congenital colon cancer.  Wasatch Bagel, 18 Februar
 y 2014.			 			 			http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/familial-adenomatous-pol
 yposis (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/familial-adenomatous-polyposis)			
 			What is familial adenomatous polyposis?														Familial adenomatou
 s polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterized by cancer of the l
 arge intestine (colon) and rectum. People with the classic type of familial
  adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) 
 growths (polyps) in the colon as early as their teenage years. Unless the c
 olon is removed, these polyps will become malignant (cancerous). The averag
 e age at which an individual develops colon cancer in classic familial aden
 omatous polyposis is 39 years. Some people have a variant of the disorder, 
 called attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis, in which polyp growth is 
 delayed. The average age of colorectal cancer onset for attenuated familial
  adenomatous polyposis is 55 years.\n									In people with classic famili
 al adenomatous polyposis, the number of polyps increases with age, and hund
 reds to thousands of polyps can develop in the colon. Also of particular si
 gnificance are noncancerous growths called desmoid tumors. These fibrous tu
 mors usually occur in the tissue covering the intestines and may be provoke
 d by surgery to remove the colon. Desmoid tumors tend to recur after they a
 re surgically removed. In both classic familial adenomatous polyposis and i
 ts attenuated variant, benign and malignant tumors are sometimes found in o
 ther places in the body, including the duodenum (a section of the small int
 estine), stomach, bones, skin, and other tissues. People who have colon pol
 yps as well as growths outside the colon are sometimes described as having 
 Gardner syndrome.\n									A milder type of familial adenomatous polyposis
 , called autosomal recessive familial adenomatous polyposis, has also been 
 identified. People with the autosomal recessive type of this disorder have 
 fewer polyps than those with the classic type. Fewer than 100 polyps typica
 lly develop, rather than hundreds or thousands. The autosomal recessive typ
 e of this disorder is caused by mutations in a different gene than the clas
 sic and attenuated types of familial adenomatous polyposis.\n												Ho
 w common is familial adenomatous polyposis?														The reported incid
 ence of familial adenomatous polyposis varies from 1 in 7,000 to 1 in 22,00
 0 individuals.\n												What genes are related to familial adenomatous 
 polyposis?														Mutations in the APC gene cause both classic and at
 tenuated familial adenomatous polyposis. These mutations affect the ability
  of the cell to maintain normal growth and function. Cell overgrowth result
 ing from mutations in the APC gene leads to the colon polyps seen in famili
 al adenomatous polyposis. Although most people with mutations in the APC ge
 ne will develop colorectal cancer, the number of polyps and the time frame 
 in which they become malignant depend on the location of the mutation in th
 e gene.\n									Mutations in the MUTYH gene cause autosomal recessive fam
 ilial adenomatous polyposis (also called MYH-associated polyposis). Mutatio
 ns in this gene prevent cells from correcting mistakes that are made when D
 NA is copied (DNA replication) in preparation for cell division. As these m
 istakes build up in a person's DNA, the likelihood of cell overgrowth incre
 ases, leading to colon polyps and the possibility of colon cancer.\n							
 		Read more about the APC (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/APC) and MUTYH (http
 ://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/MUTYH) genes.\n												How do people inherit fa
 milial adenomatous polyposis?														Familial adenomatous polyposis c
 an have different inheritance patterns.\n									When familial adenomatous
  polyposis results from mutations in the APC gene, it is inherited in an au
 tosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each 
 cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In most cases, an affected person
  has one parent with the condition.\n									When familial adenomatous pol
 yposis results from mutations in the MUTYH gene, it is inherited in an auto
 somal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell h
 ave mutations. Most often, the parents of an individual with an autosomal r
 ecessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but do not show
  signs and symptoms of the condition.\n									 			 			Takeaways...			 			
 One cure.  Total colonectomy. 			 						33% of those contracting are de nov
 o... ie. gene mutation in parent.					 					In last 90 days, six individual
 s with F.A.P. have died.					 					2013. 144k deaths from colon cancer... o
 f which, 5% are hereditary (1% F.A.P.).				 			Travis diagnosed at 15 years
  of age.  Colon removed replaced by "J patch" fashioned by removed section 
 of small intestine.  "J patch" is one of seven surgical procedures used for
  disease.			 			In his early 30's Travis relapsed... effects of the cancer 
 spread to duodenum. 			 			"I believed I was living a truncated life... so,
  I never took a new day for granted." 			 			Travis left a promising career
  in chemical and nuclear research to form FAPFoundation.  http://www.hcctak
 esguts.org/ (http://www.hcctakesguts.org/)			 			Travis, a trained research
 er, was amazed at the significant amount of scientific research on F.A.P.  
 But, none of the research was available in easy to understand, synthesized 
 form for the average afflicted person.  Because of the diseases rarity, the
  average physician had little knowledge.  The condition was often diagnosed
  as hemorrhoids or some such...			 			Drawn from Argonne National Laborator
 y in Illinois, to Huntsman Cancer Center, Salt Lake City where the world's 
 top experts in F.A.P. work... Randy Burt, Deb Meckelson... they have connec
 ted F.A.P. "to the 5th gene..."  they are the best at hereditary cancers in
  the world.  Their scientific progress was facilitated by their extensive u
 se of LDS church familial and hereditary records.			 			"I learned from Mec
 kelson that there was no reason I couldn't live a long life. I was virtuall
 y given a new life by my connection with the people at Huntsman.   "I have 
 found my niche."			 			FAPFoundation is located in Park City, UT and is run
  by Travis and his wife.			 			Supporters of FAPFoundation are 60% individu
 als and 40% corporations.  We have a good network of friends and family.			
  			The National Society of Genetic Counselors has 700 members.  We work cl
 osely to educate genetic counselors on F.A.P.			 			Five scientists/researc
 hers at Huntsman are on the board of FAPFoundation.			 			 			Thank-you.			
  			LSDM thanks Travis Bray for his very informative presentation about the
  little understood colon affliction, familial adenomatours polyposis, and c
 ongratulates him for his dedication making this affliction better known.

 			<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 1ex; ">					Familial adenomato
 us polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterized by cancer of the 
 large intestine (colon) and rectum. People with the classic type of familia
 l adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign)
  growths (polyps) in the colon as early as their teenage years. Unless the 
 colon is removed, these polyps will become malignant (cancerous). The avera
 ge age at which an individual develops colon cancer in classic familial ade
 nomatous polyposis is 39 years. Some people have a variant of the disorder,
  called attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis, in which polyp growth is
  delayed. The average age of colorectal cancer onset for attenuated familia
 l adenomatous polyposis is 55 years.</p>				<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; m
 argin-top: 1ex; ">					In people with classic familial adenomatous polyposi
 s, the number of polyps increases with age, and hundreds to thousands of po
 lyps can develop in the colon. Also of particular significance are noncance
 rous growths called desmoid tumors. These fibrous tumors usually occur in t
 he tissue covering the intestines and may be provoked by surgery to remove 
 the colon. Desmoid tumors tend to recur after they are surgically removed. 
 In both classic familial adenomatous polyposis and its attenuated variant, 
 benign and malignant tumors are sometimes found in other places in the body
 , including the duodenum (a section of the small intestine), stomach, bones
 , skin, and other tissues. People who have colon polyps as well as growths 
 outside the colon are sometimes described as having Gardner syndrome.</p>		
 		<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 1ex; ">					A milder type of fa
 milial adenomatous polyposis, called autosomal recessive familial adenomato
 us polyposis, has also been identified. People with the autosomal recessive
  type of this disorder have fewer polyps than those with the classic type. 
 Fewer than 100 polyps typically develop, rather than hundreds or thousands.
  The autosomal recessive type of this disorder is caused by mutations in a 
 different gene than the classic and attenuated types of familial adenomatou
 s polyposis.</p>			</div>		</div>		<a name="statistics" style="text-decorat

 ions in the <span class="geneSymbol" style="FONT-STYLE: italic">APC</span>

 e mutations affect the ability of the cell to maintain normal growth and fu
 nction. Cell overgrowth resulting from mutations in the <span class="geneSy

 seen in familial adenomatous polyposis. Although most people with mutations
  in the <span class="geneSymbol" style="FONT-STYLE: italic">APC</span> gene
  will develop colorectal cancer, the number of polyps and the time frame in
  which they become malignant depend on the location of the mutation in the

 ing mistakes that are made when DNA is copied (DNA replication) in preparat
 ion for cell division. As these mistakes build up in a person's DNA, the li
 kelihood of cell overgrowth increases, leading to colon polyps and the poss
 ibility of colon cancer.</p>				<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 1
