Table 1 Classification of familial adenomatous polyposis and gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach associated with adenomatous polyposis coli promoter-region alterations
| Class | Genetic alteration | Typical variants | Predominant phenotype | Gastric involvement | Colorectal involvement | Cancer risk |
| I | Promoter 1B-limited deletion | Large deletions in promoter 1B | Classical FAP | Absent-mild | Severe | High CRC risk |
| II-a | YY1 binding site SNV | c.-191T>C, c.-191T>G, c.-195A>C | GAPPS | Severe | Absent-mild | High GC risk |
| II-b | YY1 binding site SNV | c.-192A>T, c.-190G>A | Classical FAP | Absent-mild | Severe | Moderate CRC risk |
| II-c | YY1 binding site indel | c.-192_-191delATinsTAGCAAGGG | Mixed GAPPS and AFAP | Severe | Moderate | High GC and moderate CRC risks |
| III | Non-YY1 binding site SNV | c.-40G>A | AFAP | Absent | Moderate | Moderate CRC risk |
| IV | Large structural alteration | Chromothripsis and large upstream CNVs | Classical FAP or AFAP | Not available | Severe | Moderate CRC risk |
