Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BMPR1A-mediated signaling transduction plays an essential role in intestinal growth. Variations of BMPR1A lead to a rare autosomal dominant inherited juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) with high probability of developing into colorectal cancer (CRC). Nonsense and frameshift variations, generating premature termination codons (PTCs), are the most pathogenic variants in the BMPR1A gene. OBJECTIVE: This...
