Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a dominantly inherited disorder characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation.Germ line mutations in LKB1 cause PJS.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by germline mutation of the serine threonine kinase 11 and characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a hereditary disorder caused by LKB1 gene mutations, and is associated with considerable morbidity and decreased life expectancy.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), caused by germ-line mutations in LKB1, is characterized by the development of hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is characterized by intestinal polyposis, mucocutaneous pigmentation and an increased cancer risk, usually caused by mutations of the STK11 gene.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare hereditary disease caused by mutations in serine threonine kinase 11 (<i>STK11</i>) and characterized by an increased risk of developing cancer.
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a Mendelian disease, whose causative gene is STK11, mainly characterized by gastrointestinal polyposis and increased cancer risk.
LKB1 (also called STK11) is a recently identified tumor suppressor gene in which its mutation can lead to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps and cancers of different organ systems.
