Genetic conditions associated with intestinal juvenile polyps.

Abstract excerpt

Juvenile polyps are hamartomatous polyps found primarily in infants and children, and in association with juvenile polyposis (JP; OMIM #174900), Cowden syndrome (CS; OMIM #158350), and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS; OMIM# 153480).
