Peutz-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 کاملLack of STK11 gene expression in homozygous twins with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
Clinical features of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), an autosomal dominant disorder, include clusters of melanotic spots on the lips and limbs, polyposis of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and propensity to develop neoplasms of the GI tract, ovaries, testes, and other sites. We report twin sisters with PJS who were found to be homozygous, based on analyses of 9 DNA markers containing short tande...
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 کاملClinical characteristics and STK11 gene mutations in Chinese children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
BACKGROUND Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous melanin spots. Germline mutation of the serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) gene are responsible for PJS. In this study, we investigated the clinical characteristics and molecular basis of the disease in Chinese children with PJS. METHO...
