Abstract

Germline SMAD4 pathogenic variants (PVs) cause juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS), which is known for an increased risk of gastrointestinal juvenile polyps and gastrointestinal cancer. Many patients with SMAD4 PV also show signs of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and some patients have aneurysms and dissections of the thoracic aorta. Here we describe two patients with a germline SMAD4 PV and a remarkable clinical presentation including multiple medium-sized arterial aneurysms. More data are needed to confirm whether the more extensive vascular phenotype and the other described features in our patients are indeed part of a broader JPS spectrum.
