Somatic mutations in the Peutz-Jeghers (LKB1/STKII) gene in sporadic malignant melanomas.

Germline mutations in the LKB1/STK11 gene cause characteristic hamartomas and freckling to develop in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS). The hamartomas arise as a result of somatic "second hits" at LKB1/STK11 and therefore contain a neoplastic element. The origin of the pigmented...
