The genomic landscape of Cronkhite–Canada syndrome: Possible clues for pathogenesis

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare hamartomatous polyposis syndrome with a proposed association with chronic autoimmune inflammation. To date, genetic background of patients with CCS remains less investigated. In this study we aimed to explore the genomic landscape of CCS. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed on peripheral blood samples extracted from 18 patients with CCS. Potential...
