[Mutations of fragile histidine triad gene in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and canceration].

Background & Objective: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease. Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is an important tumor suppressor gene at the fragile sites region of 3p14. The authors' previous study suggested that PJS patients might have a susceptible gene at the region of 3p14.
