N2 - Background: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an unusual autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and multiple gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps. Patients with PJS are at an increased risk of developing multi-organ cancer, most frequently those involving the gastrointestinal tract. Germline mutation of the STK11 gene, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase, is responsible for PJS. Methods: Using DNA samples obtained from the patient and his family members, we sequenced nine exons and flanking intron regions of the STK11 gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. Results: Sequencing of the STK11 gene in the ...

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyposis. It is well known that individuals with PJS are at an increased risk of cancer in a variety of organs. Here, we present a patient with PJS who achieved long-term survival by undergoing repeat curative surgery for metachronous triple cancer. Her medical history included hilar cholangiocarcinoma and cervical carcinoma; curative surgery was performed for both conditions. On annual follow-up, the level of carcinoembryonic antigen was elevated at 6.9 ng/ml. Enhanced computed tomography revealed a cystic tumor consisting of mural nodules at the pancreatic head; the maximal diameter was 15 mm. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated the tumor with low intensity on T1-weighted images and high intensity on T2-weighted images. Endoscopic ultrasound sonography showed a high echoic tumor at the pancreatic head, which was confirmed as adenocarcinoma by fine

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome: A hereditary disease caused by autosomal dominant mutations involving CHROMOSOME 19. It is characterized by the presence of INTESTINAL POLYPS, consistently in the JEJUNUM, and mucocutaneous pigmentation with MELANIN spots of the lips, buccal MUCOSA, and digits.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome was diagnosed in a 51-year-old woman presenting with iron deficiency anaemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy revealed several hamartomatous polyps in the stomach, duodenum and colon, which were removed. At a combined surgical-endoscopic procedure, 42 hamartomatous polyps were removed from the small intestine by snare polypectomy. This enteroscopic procedure reduces symptoms, may protect against future intestinal obstructive episodes and their associated surgery, and may reduce the risk of developing gastrointestinal malignancy.. ...

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an inherited syndrome which typically results in hamartomatous polyps throughout the digestive tract, lifetime cancer risk and blue/black freckling or macules that can be seen on the lips, mouth, nostrils, hands, feet and genitalia.

The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by hamartomatous polyps of the gastrointestinal tract and by mucocutaneous melanin deposits. The frequency of cancer in this syndrome has not been studied extensively. Therefore, we investigated 31 patients with the …

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyposis and melanin pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes. The polyps occur throughout the whole digestive tract with a predilection for the small bowel but have also been found in urinary tract, uterus, biliary tract, and nasal mucosa.3 They typically cause recurrent intussusceptions or intestinal obstruction and most patients present in adolescence or young adulthood with episodes of colicky abdominal pain. Chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal blood loss resulting in iron deficiency anaemia is another common complication. Pigmentation of skin and mucous membranes is the external hallmark of PJS. Irregularly distributed light to dark brownish macules of 1-5 mm diameter occur most commonly on the lips and oral mucosa (mainly the buccal mucosa, gums, and hard palate), but smaller and darker macules can also be found around the mouth, nose, and eyes.4 Slightly larger pigmented ...

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is caused by mutations in a gene on chromosome 19 known as STK11. Genetic testing is available clinically. Mutations in STK11 are identified in nearly all individuals with a positive family history and about 90 percent of individuals with no previous family history. Almost all people with PJS will be diagnosed with one or more of the associated cancers during their lifetime.. The STK11 gene is a tumor suppressor gene, which usually controls cell growth and cell death. Both copies of a tumor suppressor gene must be altered, or mutated, before a person will develop cancer. With PJS, the first mutation is inherited from either the mother or the father and is present from birth in all cells of the body. This is called a germline mutation. Whether a person who has a germline mutation will develop cancer and where the cancer(s) will develop depends on where (which cell type) the second mutation occurs. For example, if the second mutation is in the breast, then breast cancer may ...

LKB1, the human gene encoding a serine threonine kinase, was recently identified as a susceptibility gene for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), a disease characterized by the constellation of intestinal hamartomata, oral mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation, and an increased risk for gastrointestinal as well …

Intussusception due to small intestinal polyps in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome represents a significant clinical challenge. Neither pure surgical nor endoscopic approaches alone are effective in the long-term management of this problem. We describe a combined approach using both surgery and small bowel endoscopy in the management of this condition, which resulted in both immediate and long-term success. Although not new, we believe this approach remains relevant despite recent technological advancements in this area. ...

Mutations in LKB1 lead to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). However, only a subset of PJS patients harbours LKB1 mutations. We performed a mutation analysis of three genes encoding novel LKB1-interacting proteins, BRG1, STRADalpha, and MO25alpha, in 28 LKB1-negative PJS patients. No disease-causing mutations were detected in the studied genes in PJS patients from different European populations.

CASE #1. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is characterized by mucocutaneous lentigines, hamartomatous polyposis, and an increased risk of visceral malignancy. The first documented record of the condition appeared in 1896, when John McHutchinson described a set of identical twins with oral and labial pigmentation who died from intussusception and breast cancer.. In 1921, Jan Peutz, a Dutch physician, first described the relationship between mucocutaneous lentigines and intestinal polyps in a Dutch family.1 It wasnt until 1949 that Harol Jeghers, an American physician, recognized the relationship between the mucocutaneous lentigines and generalized intestinal polyposis.2 In 1954, Andre J. Bruwer introduced the eponym Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.3. PJS is an autosomal dominant disorder that is primarily caused by mutations in the STK11 gene (also known as LKB1) on chromosome 19p13.3, which codes for a serine/threonine kinase. The prevalence is thought to be approximately 1 in 100,000 to 200,000 births. The ...

Background: McCune Albright syndrome (MAS), a disorder caused by somatic activating mutations in the GNAS gene, usually presents with cutaneous, skeletal, and endocrine manifestations. While focal lesions involving multiple tissues have been identified in MAS, almost nothing is known about gastrointestinal lesions in this disease. Methods: Two MAS patients with perioral freckling, resembling Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), and two MAS patients without similar pigmentation underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy to establish if they had coexisting hamartomatous polyposis. Three of 4 subjects had documented GNAS mutations in peripheral blood. Genetic testing for STK11 and PRKAR1A genes was performed to exclude presence of coexistent PJS and Carney complex. Genetic testing of biopsy material was also performed. Results: Hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps with histological features similar to those in PJS were observed in all 4 subjects, only in the stomach and/or upper duodenum. Activating GNAS ...

As shown in fig 1, 13 of 29 patients showed LOH of the D17S944 marker near the STRAD locus. All informative gastric adenocarcinomas showed LOH of the STRAD marker, whereas only one of the 12 lung adenocarcinomas showed LOH. Four of the eight ovarian and seven of the 12 colon adenocarcinomas showed LOH. To investigate whether LOH near the STRAD gene was specific in these patients, the LOH status near the TP53 and BRCA1 loci was also assessed.. Three of eight ovarian adenocarcinomas showed retention of all informative markers on chromosome 17. In contrast, two cases showed LOH of all informative markers tested. In the other cases, TP53, BRCA1, or another gene might be affected except for ovarian adenocarcinoma 7 where STRAD seemed to be specifically lost.. Two of the 10 gastric adenocarcinomas showed retention of all chromosome 17 markers and another two showed LOH of all informative markers on chromosome 17. In most cases (, 70%) LOH of the TP53 markers was seen. The LOH results were supported by ...

found in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, in association with freckling of the lips, are also of the hamartomatous type. These usually present in early adult life and carry a low but definite risk of malignancy, probably around five per cent per polyp, so they need excision. The number of polyps per individual is very variable and ranges, from as few as one or two to as many as 20 or more. Peutz-Jeghers polyps can also occur in the small intestine and can then be difficult to diagnose because they are beyond the reach of conventional fibre-optic endoscopes (internal telescope instruments). Such polyps tend to present with symptoms of obstruction (bowel blockage) or abdominal pain. Diagnosis is usually made with barium X-rays (taken after the patient swallows barium liquid to show up the inside of the intestine). Treatment will usually be an operation that opens up the abdomen. ...

There are a number of inherited predispositions to colorectal cancer (CRC) which can be broadly categorized into two groups; those with associated polyposis, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and the hamartomatous polyposis syndromes; and those that are linked to the non-polyposis syndromes, such as hereditary non polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). The genetic basis of both the polyposis and non-polyposis syndromes are reflected in the CRC population who have no apparent family history of disease. Approximately 80% of all cases of CRC are associated with chromosomal instability [1] and are likely to have mutations in the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene whereas the remaining 20% with microsatellite instability appears to be due primarily to epigenetic inactivation of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene MLH1 [2 ...

Colitis cystica profunda is a rare nonneoplastic disease defined by the presence of intramural cysts that contain mucus, usually situated in the rectosigmoid area, which can mimic various malignant lesions and polyps. Its etiology still remains not fully elucidated, and several mechanisms such as congenital, post-traumatic, and infectious have been implicated in the development of this rare entity. Herein, we describe a unique case of colitis cystica profunda in the setting of Peutz-Jeghers-type polyp of the sigmoid colon, associated with high-grade dysplasia of the overlying epithelium in a 48-year-old female patient, who presented to the emergency room with signs of intestinal obstruction. To the best of our insight, this is the first manifestation ever reported in the literature regarding the coexistence of solitary Peutz-Jeghers-type polyp, colitis cystica profunda, and high-grade dysplasia of the epithelium of the colon. The purpose of this case report is to highlight colitis cystica profunda and

The histology of PJ polyps is characteristic and diagnostic, consisting of a branched or frond-like pattern in the stroma, termed arborization. They are often confused with juvenile polyps. Small bowel PJ polyps can exhibit pseudoinvasion which can be mistaken for invasive cancer. For further information see: Frayling, IM and Arends MJ. How can histopathologists help clinical genetics in the investigation of suspected hereditary gastrointestinal cancer? Diagnostic Histopathol 2015.. 70-90% of PJS patients have small bowel (usually jejunum), 50% have colorectal, and 25% have gastric polyps. PJ polyps tend to be large and pedunculated and PJS patients commonly present as a surgical emergency in childhood with small bowel obstruction due to intussusception.. Polyps and cancers also occur outside of the GI tract, eg nose, respiratory tract, uterus, urinary tract, and gall bladder/biliary tree.. ...

A recent study described a recessive ATPase activating germ-line mutation in smooth-muscle myosin (smmhc/myh11) underlying the zebrafish meltdown (mlt) phenotype. The mlt zebrafish develops intestinal abnormalities reminiscent of human Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and juvenile polyposis (JP). To examine the role of MYH11 in human intestinal neoplasia, we searched for MYH11 mutations in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), PJS and JP. We found somatic protein-elongating frameshift mutations in 55% of CRCs displaying microsatellite instability and in the germ-line of one individual with PJS. Additionally, two somatic missense mutations were found in one microsatellite stable CRC. These two missense mutations, R501L and K1044N, and the frameshift mutations were functionally evaluated. All mutations resulted in unregulated molecules displaying constitutive motor activity, similar to the mutant myosin underlying mlt. Thus, MYH11 mutations appear to contribute also to human intestinal neoplasia. Unregulated

The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 is a tumor suppressor gene mutated in the familial cancer condition Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), as well as in 30% of sporadic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One of the critical substrates of LKB1 is the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a highly conserved sensor of cellular energy status found in all eukaryotic cells that restores metabolic homeostasis following stress. Thus LKB1 is a unique energy-state sensitive regulator of growth and metabolic reprogramming via its effects on AMPK. Our laboratory has performed a three-pronged screen to identify novel substrates of AMPK that may mediate its effects on metabolism and growth control. These studies have led to the identification of components of the mTOR signaling pathway (raptor, TSC2), the autophagy pathway (ULK1), and transcriptional regulators of metabolism (Srebp1, HDAC4/5/7) all as direct substrates of AMPK. Collectively, these studies uncovered novel conserved effectors of LKB1 and AMPK ...

Serine/threonine kinase gene (STK11) is identified as tumor suppressor gene whose mutation can lead to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). STK11 is emerging as a multifunctional protein, it activates 14 different AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family members, important in the regulation of cell polarity, cell cycle arrest, energy and hemostasis. Present study was designed to evaluate STK11 mRNA expression in MCF-7 cancer and MCF-10 normal breast cells lines. mRNA expression was studied by real-time PCR. Further, human STK11 promoter construct was fused to a luciferase reporter and transfected into both MCF-7 and MCF-10 cells to identify the promoter activity in these cells ...

A bowel resection or enterectomy (enter- + -ectomy) is a surgical procedure in which a part of an intestine (bowel) is removed, from either the small intestine or large intestine. Often the word enterectomy is reserved for the sense of small bowel resection, in distinction from colectomy, which covers the sense of large bowel resection. Bowel resection may be performed to treat gastrointestinal cancer, bowel necrosis, severe enteritis, diverticular disease, Crohns disease, endometriosis, ulcerative colitis, or bowel obstruction due to scar tissue. Other reasons to perform bowel resection include traumatic injuries and to remove polyps when polypectomy is insufficient, either to prevent polyps from ever becoming cancerous or because they are causing or threatening bowel obstruction, such as in familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, or other polyposis syndromes. Some patients require ileostomy or colostomy after this procedure as alternative means of excretion. Depending on which ...

LKB1 was discovered as a tumour suppressor mutated in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and is a gene involved in cell polarity as well as an upstream protein kinase for members of the AMP-activated protein kinase family. We report that mammals express two splice variants caused by alternate usage of 3′-exons. LKB1L is the previously described form, while LKB1S is a novel form in which the last 63 residues are replaced by a unique 39-residue sequence lacking known phosphorylation (Ser431) and farnesylation (Cys433) sites. Both isoforms are widely expressed in rodent and human tissues, although LKB1S is particularly abundant in haploid spermatids in the testis. Male mice in which expression of Lkb1S is knocked out are sterile, with the number of mature spermatozoa in the epididymis being dramatically reduced, and those spermatozoa that are produced have heads with an abnormal morphology and are non-motile. These results identify a previously undetected variant of LKB1, and suggest that it has a crucial ...

The immune system can be an important ally in the fight against cancer. A recent study suggests that the reverse may also be true - that abnormal inflammation triggered by the immune system may underlie the development of stomach tumours in patients with a hereditary cancer syndrome known as Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS).

Hereditary breast cancer syndromes are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and constitute a unique patient population, making up approximately 5%-10% of breast cancer cases in the United States. By virtue of the germline mutations that define these syndromes, invasive breast cancers in these patients have unique mechanisms that can be rationally targeted for therapeutic opportunities distinct from standard of care treatments in nongermline mutation associated breast cancers. This review intends to describe existing data on several of the most common hereditary breast cancer syndromes, including BRCA-related breast cancer syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and hereditary diffuse gastric cancer syndrome, specifically focusing on rational therapeutics utilized in these distinct patient subgroups and completed or ongoing clinical trials evaluating their efficacy ...

CS is characterized by increased risk for both benign and malignant tumors of the breast, thyroid, and endometrium. Affected individuals have macrocephaly and almost all will develop the pathognomonic mucocutaneous lesions by the third decade of life, including trichilemmomas, papillomatous papules, and acral and plantar keratoses. Affected females also have a high rate of benign breast disease. Hamartomatous polyposis of the GI tract can be observed, but is rarely symptomatic ...

But, life and death experience just doesnt bear out our simplistic formulas for many, many reasons - including lead time bias; over diagnosis; over treatment; risks of harm from screening procedures and subsequent invasive procedures; lack of effective care/cure for a wide variety of conditions including many cancers; lack of any proof that early diagnosis leads to improved survival (disease-specific or overall survival); the numbers needed to screen to come up with one diagnosis or save one life; lack of clarity and innumeracy in practitioners and patients leading to poor choices; confusion of relative risk (RR) and absolute risk (AR) estimates; the fear and worry that arise when a possible cancer is diagnosed (many tests find many non-cancers, non-life threatening cancers, non-curable cancers and even non-treatable cancers); and false negative findings (missed cancers) provide false reassurance ...

Protein ubiquitylation and protein phosphorylation are the two major mechanisms that regulate the functions of proteins in eukaryotic cells. However, these different posttranslational modifications do not operate independently of one another, but are frequently interlinked to enable biological processes to be controlled in a more complex and sophisticated manner. Studying how protein phosphorylation events control the ubiquitin system and how ubiquitylation regulates protein phosphorylation has become a focal point of the study of cell regulation and human disease. Cloning of human Microtubule Affinity Regulating Kinase 4 (MARK4) was first described by Kato et al. (2001). MARK4 is a member of the subfamily of protein kinases that include the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and, like AMPK itself, is activated by the tumour suppressor kinase LKB1 (Lizcano et al., 2004). The physiological roles of MARK4 include the phosphorylation of microtubule associated proteins and the regulation of cell ...

Intussusception is a frequent complication in patients with hamartomatous polyposis intestinalis, generally occurs in the small intestine [1,2]. Intussusception occurs when a segment of the intestine with its mesentery (intussusceptum) invaginates into the lumen of an adjacent intestinal segment (intussuscepiens). Its classic presentation triad is that of abdominal pain, bloody stools and a palpable abdominal mass [3].. The key imaging findings of intussusception are:. 1. Ultrasound: doughnut sign (doughnut) in the images of the short axis of the compromised segment or image of pseudo-kidney in the longitudinal axis [4].. 2. Tomography: Complex soft tissue mass, whose central segment corresponds to the intussusceptum loop and peripherally to the intussuscipiens loop [1,5].. 3. Resonance (MRI): It allows a better characterization of extra enteric abnormalities with high contrast in soft tissues and does not use ionizing radiation, which allows it to be used as a tool as many times as necessary ...
