" /> Proteus syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Proteus syndrome;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Gigantism, partial, of hands and feet, nevi, hemihypertrophy, and macrocephaly;

Included titles and symbols : Elattoproteus syndrome;

Description : Proteus syndrome is a highly variable, severe disorder of asymmetric and disproportionate overgrowth of body parts, connective tissue nevi, epidermal nevi, dysregulated adipose tissue, and vascular malformations. Many features of Proteus syndrome overlap with other overgrowth syndromes (Turner et al., 2004). Some authors (Zhou et al., 2000, 2001; Smith et al., 2002) have reported a 'Proteus-like' syndrome associated with germline and tissue-specific somatic mutations in the PTEN gene (601728), which is mutated in Cowden syndrome (158350) and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS; 153480). See 158350 for a discussion of these patients.;

Inheritance : Somatic mutation;

Molecular basis : Caused by somatic mutation in the AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 gene (AKT1, 164730.0001);

Neoplasia : Ovarian cystadenoma; Parotid monomorphic adenoma;

Prefixed ID : #176920;
