AB It  is  a  familial  noncancerous  polyposis  of  the  colon  characterized  by  abdominal  pain,  rectal  bleeding,  and  diarrhea.  People  with  this  medical  condition  typically  develop  polyps  before  age  20.  Approximately  15%  of  those  affected  with  this  condition  present  other  abnormalities  such  as  intestinal  malrotation,  heart  or  brain  defects,  cleft  palate,  polydactyly  of  the  hands  and  toes,  and  urogenital  abnormalities.  It  is  estimated  that  people  with  Juvenile  Polyposis  Syndrome  have  between  10  and  50%  risk  of  developing  a  malignancy  of  the  gastrointestinal  tract.  Colorectal  cancer  is  the  most  common  type.
