A New <i>SMAD4</i> Splice Site Variant in a Three-Generation Italian Family with Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome
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 <i>SMAD4</i>...

| description | 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 <i>SMAD4</i> 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 substitution in the <i>SMAD4</i> gene, a novel splice variant that has never been described before. Our family is remarkable in that it illustrates the variable expressivity of the <i>SMAD4</i> phenotype within the same family. The possibility of phenotype variability should also be considered within family members carrying the same mutation. In JPS, a timely genetic diagnosis allows clinicians to better manage patients and to provide early surveillance and intervention for their asymptomatic mutated relatives in the early decades of life. |
