Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: risks of a hereditary condition.

Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology. Supplement - 1 Jan 1999

Westerman A M, Wilson J H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by hamartomatous polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract and melanin pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes. We review the clinical features of PJS with special emphasis on the risks for its gene carriers. METHODS: Review of the literature. RESULTS: Risks imposed by the presence of polyps in PJS patients include...
