Question
Answer
PTEN Disorders   Cowden syndrome, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, Proteus syndrome and Proteus-like syndrome  
🗑
PTEN Disoders are also known as ...   PTEN Hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS)  
🗑
PTEN Gene   10q23.3  
🗑
PTEN Gene, normal function...   tumor suppressor  
🗑
Cowden syndrome in a nutshell   multiple hamartoma syndrome which high risk of benign and malignant tumors of the thyroid, breast and endometrium.  
🗑
Cowden syndrome phenotype   macrocephaly, trichilemmomas, popullomatous pupules by late 20s  
🗑
Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) dx criteria   intestinal DO characterized by macrocephaly, intestinal hamartomatous polyposis, lipomas, and pigmented macules of the glans penis, eye problems.  
🗑
Proteus syndrome   complex, high variable disorder involving congenital malformations and hamartomatous overgrowth of multiple tissues, as well as connective tissue nevi, epidermal nevi, and hyperostoses  
🗑
The most often affected areas of PS are   tissues of the bone, skin, CNS, eye, connective tissue  
🗑
Proteus-like syndrome   individuals who fail to meet specific criteria for PS, CS, or BRRS.  
🗑
All PTEN disorders are inherited in what manner?   AD  
🗑
BRRS affects babies...   before birth  
🗑
As BRRS infants age,   the growth rate slows and adults with this disorder often attain a height that is within the normal range.  
🗑
Infants affected with BRRS   may also have hypotonia, drooling, delayed speech development, delay in meeting milestones.  
🗑
Sotos syndrome quick facts   Incidence 1 in 10,000 to 14,000 LBS, NSD1 gene at 5q35, 95% de novo rate, Possible AD inheritance, 100% have macrocephaly by 14 y/o  
🗑
Clinical features of Sotos   Overgrowth in childhood, developmental delay, behavioral issues, Characteristic facial features  
🗑
Characteristic facial features in Sotos patients   Long narrow face, prominent narrow jaw, downslanting palpebral fissures, forehead bossing, flushed cheeks  
🗑
Behavioral issues in Sotos patients   ADHD, Phobias, OCD, Tantrums, Impulsive behavior  
🗑
Adult height for Sotos patients is usually...   in the normal range  
🗑
MRI findings for Sotos patients   Prominence of occipital horns, corpus collosum can be thinned out or absent;  
🗑
With Sotos, always rule out...   Fragile X  
🗑

🗑
UPD 7 and specific RS phenotype   Pre and postnatal growth deficiency, absence of craniofacial characteristics, speech delay, poor feeding, excessive sweating without episodes of hypoglycemia  
🗑
Clinical assessment for RS   usually slim or underweight, normal head size but appears large because of small body; episodes of hypoglycemia; asymmetrical limbs  
🗑
Testing for RS   Cytogenetic analysis for dup 11p15.5, dup 7p11-12, maternal UPD 7, H19 methylation analysis  
🗑
