Indeed, an inherited predisposition to PDAC is believed to present in familial cancer syndromes such as the Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, which is associated with germline mutations in the STK11/LKB1 gene, Familial Atypical Multiple Mole Melanoma syndrome, which results due to germline mutations in the p16/CDKN2A gene, Hereditary Breast-Ovarian Cancer syndrome (BRCA1/2 genes), Hereditary Non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (mismatch repair genes), and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis syndrome (Reznik et al., 2014). Here, STK11 is linked to hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer.
