Core Tip
Core tip: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is currently considered an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by germline mutations of the LKB1/STK11 gene. Gastrointestinal hamartoma polyps are one of the most common clinical manifestations. In order to investigate the mutation status of these familiar genetically-related genes in PJS hamartoma polyp tissues, high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the mutations of related genes in PJS hamartoma polyps. In addition, the relationships between the mutation status and the clinical pathological data of PJS are discussed.
