Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1023083906

Attenuated familial adenomatosis is characterised by fewer colonic polyps (average number of polyps, 30-35) as compared to classic FAP. The polyps also tend to develop at a later age (average age, 36 y), and they tend to involve the proximal colonic area.
