Overview
Peutz-Jeghers, also known as Hereditary Intestinal Polyposis Syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by the development of benign hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract.
Causes
Genetics
In 1998, a gene was found to be associated with the mutation. On chromosome 19, the gene known as STK11 (LKB1)[1] is a possible tumor suppressor gene. It is inherited in an Autosomal Dominant pattern (see Mendelian inheritance) which means that anyone who has PJS has a 50% chance of passing it onto their children.
