Name

Cowden syndrome

Supergrp

PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome [DS:H00539]

Description

Cowden syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer syndrome characterized by benign and malignant breast, thyroid, and endometrial neoplasias in addition to cutaneous findings and macrocephaly. Germ line PTEN mutations have been found in 85% of those with CS. A large heterogeneous group of individuals with Cowden-like syndrome, who have various combinations of Cowden syndrome features but who do not meet Cowden syndrome diagnostic criteria, have PTEN mutations less than 10% of the time. In the absence of germline PTEN mutations, approximately 10% of individuals with Cowden syndrome or Cowden-like syndrome harbor germline succinate dehydrogenase variants SDHB and SDHD.

DISEASE: Proteus syndrome

Entry

H02119                      Disease

Name

Proteus syndrome

Description

Proteus syndrome (PS) is a generally severe but highly variable disorder caused by an activating AKT1 mutation. The diagnosis of PS requires fulfillment of three general criteria: sporadic occurrence, mosaic distribution of lesions, and a progressive course in addition to various specific criteria. These specific manifestations include, but are not limited to, cerebriform connective tissue nevus, linear epidermal nevus, asymmetric, disproportionate overgrowth, dysregulated adipose tissue, vascular malformations, and lung cysts.
