Germline activating variants in WWP1,which encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that antagonizes PTEN tumor suppressive function,have been proposed as an alternative mechanism of PTEN inactivation in PTEN-hamartoma-tumor sy...
BACKGROUND The presence of Spigelman stage(SS)IV duodenal polyposis is considered the most significant risk factor for duodenal cancer in patients with MUTYH-associated polyposis(MAP).However,advanced SS disease is ra...
BACKGROUND Juvenile polyposis syndrome(JPS)is a rare hereditary polyposis disease frequently associated with an autosomal-dominant variant of the SMAD4 or BMPR1A gene.It often manifests with symptoms in children and a...
