Preferred Label : Carney complex, type 1;
Symbol : CNC1;
CISMeF acronym : CAR; CNC1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Name syndrome; CAR; Carney myxoma-endocrine complex; Myxoma, spotty pigmentation, and endocrine overactivity; Lamb syndrome; Carney syndrome;
Description : Carney complex is an autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized
by cardiac, endocrine, cutaneous, and neural myxomatous tumors, as well as a variety
of pigmented lesions of the skin and mucosae. Carney complex may simultaneously involve
multiple endocrine glands, similar to classic MEN syndromes (MEN1; 131100 and MEN2;
171400). Carney complex shows some similarities to McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS;
174800), a sporadic condition that is also characterized by multiple endocrine and
nonendocrine tumors, and shares skin abnormalities and some nonendocrine tumors with
the lentiginoses and certain of the hamartomatoses, particularly Peutz-Jeghers syndrome
(PJS; 175200). Carney complex is often associated with the unusual large-cell calcifying
Sertoli cell tumor and psammomatous melanotic schwannomas (Kirschner et al., 2000;
Stratakis et al., 2001).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
