Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: genetic screening.

Expert review of anticancer therapy - 1 Aug 2003

Leggett Barbara A, Young Joanne P, Barker Melissa

Abstract excerpt

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition leading to gastrointestinal polyps which often causes bowel obstruction. This syndrome also predisposes to gastrointestinal, pancreatic, breast, uterine and other malignancies. Prognosis is likely to be improved by the early commencement of appropriate surveillance programs. Diagnostic and predictive genetic testing is now possible in many families due to...
