DISEASE: Sessile serrated polyposis cancer syndrome
Entry
H02795 Disease
Name
Sessile serrated polyposis cancer syndrome
Description
The serrated polyposis syndrome comprises multiple epithelial polyps in the colon and rectum of serrated histology. The serrated polyposis syndrome is associated with colorectal cancer risk. Recently, germline pathogenic variants in RNF43 have been proposed to underlie sessile serrated polyposis cancer syndrome (SSPCS). RNF43 encodes the RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that inhibits the Wnt pathway.
