A New SMAD4 Splice Site Variant in a Three-Generation Italian Family with Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome

Abstract: Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperplastic polyps in the upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract with a high risk of developing GI cancers. We have described a three-generation Italian family with all the spectrum of SMAD4 phenotype. A multigene panel test was performed on the genomic DNA of the proband by next-generation sequencing, including genes related to hereditary GI tumor syndromes. Molecular analysis revealed the presence of the c.1140-2A>G… Show more

“…Most of this increased risk is attributed to colon cancer, but stomach, upper gastrointestinal tract, and pancreas cancers have also been reported [3,[9][10][11][12]. Even among patients of the same age, the polyp shapes and sizes vary, and it is possible to notice this even among members of the same family who have JPS [13].…”
