Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is caused by a [[mutation]] in the ''[[STK11]]'' (''LKB1'') [[tumor suppressor gene]].


'''Peutz-Jeghers''', also known as '''Hereditary Intestinal Polyposis Syndrome''', is an [[autosomal dominant]] [[genetic disease]] characterized by the development of benign hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract.

In 1998, a gene was found to be associated with the mutation.  On [[Chromosome 19 (human)|chromosome 19]], the gene known as ''[[STK11]]'' (''LKB1'')<ref>{{cite web |url=http://us.expasy.org/cgi-bin/niceprot.pl?Q15831 |title=UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entry Q15831 [STK11_HUMAN] Serine/threonine-protein kinase 11 |accessdate=2007-07-21 |format= |work=}}</ref> is a possible [[tumor suppressor gene]]. It is inherited in an ''Autosomal Dominant'' pattern (see [[Mendelian inheritance]]) which means that anyone who has PJS has a 50% chance of passing it onto their children.
