Genetic screening for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Expert review of molecular diagnostics - 1 Jul 2003

Ballhausen Wolfgang G, Günther Klaus

Abstract excerpt

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is clinically characterized by mucocutaneous melanocytic pigmentation, intestinal hamartomatous polyposis and a significantly increased risk of developing cancer. Mutations in the serine/threonine kinase (STK-)11 gene, also designated LKB1, are found in approximately 60% of cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. There is evidence that genetic heterogeneity exists and gene(s) that have not yet...
