Background:

Juvenile polyposis is a rare inherited condition characterized by numerous hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract.
Individuals with juvenile polyposis have a significantly elevated lifetime risk of developing gastrointestinal malignancies, including colorectal and gastric cancers.
The genetic basis of juvenile polyposis involves mutations in genes such as SMAD4 and BMPR1A, underscoring its hereditary nature.
