متن کاملSTK11 genotyping and cancer risk in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
P eutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS; OMIM #175200) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation, gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyposis, and an increased risk for the development of various neoplasms. 2 Malignancies occur both in the gastrointestinal tract and in extraintestinal sites such as the pancreas, the breast, and reproductive organs. The estimated re...
متن کاملSTK11 mutations in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and sporadic colon cancer.
A potential tumor suppressor gene, STK11 , encoding a serine threonine kinase, has recently been identified on chromosome 19p13. Germ-line mutations of this gene have been found in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). To further investigate the relevance of STK11 mutations in PJS, we analyzed its coding sequence in nine patients and identified two deletions and three missense mutations. ...
متن کاملPeutz-Jeghers syndrome with germline mutation of STK11
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), also known as periorificial lentiginosis, is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease with an incidence of 1/200,000 live-borns. Mutations in the serine-threonine kinase 11 (STK11) gene are considered the major cause of PJS. The most frequent complication at young age is recurrent intussusception due to multiple hamartomatous polyps, primarily in the small intes...
متن کاملMutations in the STK11 gene in Czech Peutz-Jeghers families
Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyposis. The germline mutations in the serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) gene have been shown to be associated with the disease. Individuals with PJS are at increased risk for various neoplasms. Molecular analysis could be helpful...
