Preferred Label : Carney Complex;
NCIt synonyms : Nevi, Atrial Myxoma, Skin Myxoma, Ephelides Syndrome; Lentigines, Atrial Myxoma, Mucocutaneous Myoma, Blue Nevus Syndrome; Carney's Syndrome; Atrial Myxoma with Lentigines; LAMB; CNC; Carney Syndrome;
NCIt definition : An autosomal dominant disorder most often caused by mutations in the PRKAR1A gene.
It is characterized by the presence of myxomas in the heart and skin, skin hyperpigmentation,
increased endocrine activity and melanotic schwannomas.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: An autosomal dominant syndrome most often caused by heterozygous inactivating
mutations in a potential tumor suppressor gene, PRKAR1A, encoding cAMP-dependent protein
kinase type I-alpha regulatory subunit. This condition is characterized by increased
risk of myxomas in the heart, psammomatous melanotic schwannomas and letigines, and
tumors in many endocrine organs. A distinctive feature of this condition is primary
pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD), which results in hyperadrenocortisolism.
Pituitary gland involvement includes functional pituitary adenomas that result in
excess growth hormone production.; NCI-GLOSS: A rare, inherited disorder marked by dark spots on the skin and tumors
in the heart, endocrine glands, skin, and nerves. There are two types of Carney complex,
which are caused by mutations (changes) in different genes.;
