Contiguous Gene Deletion within Chromosome Arm 10q Is Associated with Juvenile Polyposis of Infancy, Reflecting Cooperation between the BMPR1A and PTEN Tumor-Suppressor Genes

Abstract: We describe four unrelated children who were referred to two tertiary referral medical genetics units between 1991 and 2005 and who are affected with juvenile polyposis of infancy. We show that these children are heterozygous for a germline deletion encompassing two contiguous genes, PTEN and BMPR1A. We hypothesize that juvenile polyposis of infancy is caused by the deletion of these two genes and that the severity of the disease reflects cooperation between these two tumor-suppressor genes.

“…Polyps occur diffusely in the stomach, small bowel and colon. The condition is caused by microdeletions of the 10q23.2-10q23.3 region, which contains the BMPR1A and PTEN genes [Delnatte et al, 2006;Dahdaleh et al, 2012]. This explains not only the severe GI phenotype but also the presence of congenital abnormalities and hypotonia.…”
