Abstract:
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome ( PJS ) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by mucocutaneous pigmentation and multiple gastrointestinal polyposis. Recent studies suggested that mutation in STK11 gene on chromosome 19p13. 3 was considered as the major cause of PJS. In this paper,we summarized the clinical features, pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of PJS through literature review.
