Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal dominant, polyposis syndrome, associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal malignancy. Occasionally dysplasia occurs in PJS polyps.
In colorectal carcinomas, mutations in codon 12 of the K-ras oncogene are common and are found at similar frequency in precursor adenomas. Therefore, K-ras codon 12 point mutations in PJS polyps, were evaluated.
Fifty two PJS polyps, including four with dysplasia, collected from 19 patients with PJS, were analysed for mutations in the K-ras codon 12 by a mutant enriched polymerase chain reaction procedure, followed by allele specific oligodeoxynucleotide hybridisation.
A K-ras codon 12 mutation was identified, in one colonic polyp with dysplasia. The mutation was found in the non-neoplasmic epithelial cells and not in the dysplastic component of the polyp.
K-ras codon 12 point mutations are very rare in PJS polyps, by contrast with colorectal adenomas. The findings support previous evidence that there seems to be no intrinsic relation between K-ras codon 12 mutation and dysplasia.
黑斑息肉综合征(PJS)是一种罕见的常染色体显性遗传息肉病综合征,与胃肠道和胃肠道外恶性肿瘤风险增加相关。PJS息肉偶尔会发生发育异常。
在结直肠癌中,K-ras癌基因第12密码子突变很常见,且在前体腺瘤中的发生频率相似。因此,对PJS息肉中的K-ras第12密码子点突变进行了评估。
从19例PJS患者中收集了52个PJS息肉,包括4个发育异常的息肉,通过突变富集聚合酶链反应程序分析K-ras第12密码子的突变,随后进行等位基因特异性寡脱氧核苷酸杂交。
在一个发育异常的结肠息肉中鉴定出K-ras第12密码子突变。该突变存在于非肿瘤性上皮细胞中,而不存在于息肉的发育异常成分中。
与结直肠腺瘤相比,K-ras第12密码子点突变在PJS息肉中非常罕见。这些发现支持了先前的证据,即K-ras第12密码子突变与发育异常之间似乎没有内在联系。
