Overview
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is transmitted in autosomal dominant pattern.
Pathophysiology
Genetics
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is caused by a mutation in STK11 (LKB1) tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 19.[1] It is inherited in an Autosomal Dominant pattern (see Mendelian inheritance), which means that anyone who has Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) has a 50% chance of passing it onto his/her offspring.
