Wnt signaling may be activated in a subset of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome polyps closely correlating to LKB1 expression
23 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The premalignant potential of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) hamartomas has not been established. The major gene responsible for PJS is LKB1. LKB1 has a complex cellular role, therefore, the exact role of LKB1 in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome hamartomas (PJSs) is particularly difficult to understand. It has recently been found that LKB1 functions in the Wnt pathway in Xenopus during early development. Aberrant...
