Overview
In 1998, STK11 (LKB1) mutations were first identified in the pathogenesis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. The syndrome is named after Jans Peutz (1886-1957), a Dutch physician and Harold Jeghers (1904-1990), an American physician who had successively described the association between polyposis and the mucocutaneous macules.
Historical Perspective
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was first discovered by Dr. Connor, a British physician, in 1895 in identical twin sisters.[1][2]
- The association between gastrointestinal polyposis with distinctive pigmentation of the skin and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was made in 1921 by Dr. Johannes Peutz of Holland.
- In 1949, Dr. Harold Jeghers of United States was the first to discover the association between combination of intestinal polyposis and skin pigmentation, and the development of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
- In 1954, A. Bruwer used the eponym Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
- In 1998, serine/threonine-protein kinase 11 alias LKB1 (STK11/LKB1) gene mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
