<h4>Background & Aims</h4> Heterozygous inactivating mutations of Serine Threonine Kinase 11 (STK11)/Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1) are causative to the Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), a hereditary disease characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyposis and increased cancer susceptibility. While LKB1 loss-induced polyp formation has been ascribed to non-epithelial tissues, how LKB1 deficiency increases cancer ris...
