The diagnosis of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is based on the occurrence of hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps and perioral pigment spots. In view of the development of hamartomatous polyps in several syndromes and the variability of pigment spots in Peutz-Jeghers patients, identification of affected i
## MUTATION NOTES 395 in TCT, which would cause a frameshift from codon 642 ( C l T a A T T + CXTGATT). This frameshift mutation would generate a stop codon immediately downstream to produce a truncated hMLHl protein. This is the first report of a somatic mutation in DNA mismatch repair genes foun
Three germline mutations in the TP53 tumor-suppressor gene are reported, two of which are not reported previously. A missense mutation at codon 265 of TP53 was found in three patients of a family that complied with the definition of the Li-Fraumeni syndrome. A nonsense mutation in codon 306 was foun
Inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene has been shown to initiate the majority of colorectal cancer (CRC), including a familial form called familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). One consequence of the APC mutation is the activation of the โค-catenin (CTNNB1)/T-cell transcription fa
