Abstract excerpt
Inactivating germline mutations of the novel putative tumor-suppressor gene LKB1/STK11 at 19p13.3 have been shown to cause Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), an autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by a predisposition to mucocutaneous pigmentations, as well as various benign and malignant neoplasms. To elucidate the role of LKB1/STK11 in the carcinogenesis of primary and secondary human brain tumors, a...
