The susceptibility gene for this syndrome was mapped to 10q22-23. Subsequently, germline mutations in PTEN, which encodes a dual specificity phosphatase, were found in individuals and families with CS. With the identification of the CS susceptibility gene, DNA-based predictive testing may be offered in theory. Somatic mutations in PTEN have been described in sporadic thyroid tumors, endometrial carcinomas, prostate carcinomas and glioblastoma multiforme. Although initial analyses suggest that the presence of somatic PTEN alterations appear to be associated with more advanced disease in carcinomas of the prostate and brain, this does not appear to be the case in epithelial thyroid tumors.

    Extractions: Uveitis and Glaucoma in Cowden Syndrome. Therapeutical challenge. Margherita E. Meniconi Introduction Case presentation A caucasian female, age 22, was referred for recommendations for treatment of uveitic glaucoma in her remaining right eye. Her past ocular history was significant for bilateral uveitis at age 4, complicated by retinal detachment OS and OS phthisis. Her right eye needed surgical excision of a vitreo-retinal traction band. After a period of stability, retinal detachment developed in the right eye and was successfully treated with pars plana vitrectomy and scleral buckling at age 13 years. Secondary cataract developed, requiring cataract extraction. Best-corrected vision at age 14 was 20/40. The intraocular pressure was normal until age 17. Glaucoma then developed, and the pressure was around 29 mmHg, despite therapy with dorzolamide, timolol, brimodine and latanaprost. The review of system was significant for status post pneumonia at age 16 and status post thyroidectomy two years earlier and recent diagnosis of Cowden Syndrome. At the time of consultation with us, the patient’s best-corrected vision in OD was 20/30, pinhole 20/25; OS no light perception. The intraocular pressures were 19mmHg OD and 6mmHg OS.

    http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/cowdensyndrome.htm
    
    Extractions: Background Cowden syndrome (CS) is a autosomal dominant inherited syndrome. These patients are characterized by multiple hamartomas occurring in the skin, breast, thyroid, gastrointestinal tract, endometrium, and brain. Patients do have an increased risk of experiencing malignant tumors with the most common ones are breast, endometrial, and thyroid cancer. SYNONYMS Multiple hamartoma syndrome PATHOGENESIS CHARACTERIZATION Identification of a PTEN mutation in a family with Cowden syndrome and Bannayan-Zonana syndrome J Am Acad Dermatol 2001;44:183-7 Single kindred with individuals manifesting both CS and BZS phenotypes (CS/BZS overlap family) Novel mutation in PTEN by DNA sequencing. The PTEN gene (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted from chromosome 10) has been identified as the susceptibility gene for CS and BZS Also known as MMAC1 (mutated in multiple advanced cancers) or TEP1 (TGF-regulated and e pithelial cell-enriched p hosphatase), is a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10q23.28-30 It has 9 exons that encode a protein of 403 amino acids. The presence of individuals with CS and BZS within the same family, and moreover the identification of identical PTEN gene mutations in these individuals, suggest that these two syndromes represent different phenotypic expressions of one disease
