Question
What is the genetic nature of colon polyps? Are colon polyps threatening?
Answer
There is a type of colon polyp known as familial colon polyps that are associated with genetic factors. For those that do not belong to this category, their connection to genetics is relatively minor. Colon polyps are usually related to acquired factors such as emotions, diet, inflammation, and infection, being the result of the combined effects of both internal and external factors.
