Which Gene Causes JP?
A heterogeneous disease– 15%-20% of mutations occur on SMAD4– 25-40% of mutations occur on BMPR1a– Remaining causes are unknown
The BMP/TGF-ß Family
Waite and Eng, Nature Reviews 4:763-773 (2003)
BMPR1a is a BMP receptor
Waite and Eng, Nature Reviews 4:763-773 (2003)
Loss of BMPR1a leads to embryonic lethality
Mishina et al, Genes & Development 9:3027-3027 (1995)
BMPR1a signaling is important inmany cell fates decisions in embryonic &
postembryonic development!

Used mice as a model organism
How Do These Mutations Lead to Cancer?
BMPR1a is expressed in all but the proliferating cells

How Do These Mutations Lead to Cancer?
-Inactivating BMPR1a in developing colontriggered the formation of polyps
