Potential genotype\/phenotype correlations were assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>As of July 2015, 29 patients with HB had received constitutional <jats:italic>APC<\/jats:italic> testing. Four (14%) were found to have <jats:italic>APC<\/jats:italic> pathogenic truncations of the APC protein and in addition two (7%) had <jats:italic>APC<\/jats:italic> missense variants of unknown clinical significance. Two patients (7%) had family histories indicative of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Response to chemotherapy tracked differently in <jats:italic>APC<\/jats:italic> pathogenic cases, with a slower imaging response despite an equivalent or slightly faster \u03b1\u2010fetoprotein (AFP) response.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of pathogenic <jats:italic>APC<\/jats:italic> variants in apparently sporadic HB may be higher than previously detected. Differences in time to imaging response, despite similar AFP response, may impact surgical planning.
