In addition, mutations in GREM1, which plays a role in the inhibition of BMP signalling, have been reported to underlie Hereditary Mixed Polyposis Syndrome (HMPS), a rare condition characterised by the occurrence of conventional adenomas, atypical hamartomatous polyps, serrated polyps and frequent colorectal carcinoma [20], [21]. The gene discussed is GREM1; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
