METHODSA total of 24 familial and 13 apparently sporadic PJS cases without a family history were collected from a number of German institutions. In four cases, the family history could not be obtained. The patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria suggested by Tomlinson and Houlston, 26 namely the presence of (a) two or more hamartomatous polyps of the PJS type, or (b) one PJS polyp along with classical PJS pigmentation or a family history of PJS. All cancer diagnoses were confirmed by tissue review or pathology reports. Patient data and family histories were documented according to a study protocol approved by the local ethics committee. Blood samples were collected for mutation analysis of STK11 after informed consent was obtained.
