Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome is rare, with a prevalence of about 1 in 100,000 individuals.The BMPR1A gene, or Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Type 1A gene, is located on chromosome 10q22.3 and encodes a protein receptor that is part of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway. This pathway plays essential roles in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and development, particularly in bone and cartilage formation.
