✦ Synopsis

Carcinomas develop, although at low frequency, in hamartomatous polyps in the Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome. With the identification of at least one of the genes involved (LKB1/STK11), attempts can be made to unravel the molecular events responsible for this hamartoma-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Recent data indicate that this sequence is real, that the molecular pathways involved are different from those in other hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, and that, possibly in contrast to the hamartomatous polyps in the juvenile polyposis syndrome, the genetic abnormalities occur in the epithelial compartment of the lesions.

Tumorigenesis is thought to be a multistep process in which genetic alterations accumulate to bring about the neoplastic phenotype. Colorectal tumors appear to arise as a result of the mutational activation of oncogenes coupled with the inactivation of several tumor suppressor genes. We have found f

To examine the biological significance of ferritin (FRN) expression, a retrospective immunohistochemical study was performed in normal colonic mucosae (n = g), adenomas (n = SS), and colorectal carcinomas (n = 104). FRN was present in some epithelia in the crypt base of normal colonic mucosae. Signi

Patients with Peutz-Jeghers' syndrome (PJS) develop hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps and characteristic pigmentation, as a result of germline mutations in the LKB1 gene. The hamartomas in PJS were long considered to be without malignant potential. There is, however, accumulating epidemiological
