I don' t know if I'm just being daft, but, I feel like there's a discrepancy btwn FA+Pathoma and UWORLD. Pathoma and FA both say that APC mutation increases your risk for the adenoma (polyp), and then RAS mutation gives u the polyp and then p53 mutation makes it cancer.
but i've had 2 Uworld questions already and one was where there was a pic of a polyp and it said what gene was mutated..and it was APC. and in the description for the answer it said that APC gives u a small polyp, RAS makes it larger, and then p53 mutation makes it carcinoma. The following question also had the same thing written.
Am i just interpreting the things wrong? idk if any of you came across this when u were studying..
Thanks guys!
