" /> Carney complex, type 1 - CISMeF





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;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, regulatory, type I, alpha gene (PRKAR1A, 188830.0001);

Neoplasia : Myxoid subcutaneous tumors; Primary adrenocortical nodular hyperplasia; Testicular Sertoli cell tumor, calcified; Pituitary adenoma; Mammary ductal fibroadenoma; Schwannoma; Psammomatous melanotic schwannomas; Thyroid carcinoma; Pheochromocytoma;
