Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is caused by mutations in the tumor suppressor gene, STK11. This mutation leads to melanin spots on the lips, and an increased risk of developing cancer.
