Germline mutations in BMPR1A/ALK3 cause a subset of cases of Juvenile polyposis syndrome and of Cowden and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndromes
- Abstract:
-
Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is an inherited hamartomatous-polyposis syndrome with a risk for colon cancer. JPS is a clinical diagnosis by exclusion, and, before susceptibility genes were identified, JPS could easily be confused with other inherited hamartoma syndromes, such as Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) and Cowden syndrome (CS). Germline mutations of MADH4 (SMAD4) have been described in a variable number of probands with JPS. A series of familial and isolated European prob...
