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.;
