Su1215 Video Capsule Endoscopy in Patients With Muir-Torre Syndrome
Muir-Torre Syndrome (MTS) is a rare, primarily autosomal dominant disorder that is distinguished by having sebaceous skin malignancies in addition to visceral malignancies. The most common form of MTS is a variant of HNPCC. The cause of MTS appears to be germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes, specifically MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6. Our aim in this study is to demonstrate the utilization of VCE in patients with MTS as a screening procedure.
