[Hereditary digestive hamartomatous polyposis syndromes].
Several hereditary syndromes with multiple digestive hamartomatous polyps are described; they are produced by germline mutations. All of them are associated to an increased risk of colorectal cancer and other neoplasms, by the suppressor class of the mutated gens probably. The Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, the Juvenile plyposys syndrome, the PTEN hamartomatous tumor syndrome, and other less frequent hamartomatous syndroms are described.
