Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic mutations in the serine/threonine kinase STK11 (alias LKB1) cause Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) in most affected individuals. However, in a considerable number of PJS-patients mutations cannot be detected in STK11 suggesting genetic heterogeneity. One PJS family without STK11 mutations (PJS07) has previously been described with significant evidence for linkage to a second potential PJS locus on...
