Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder with a genetic background [1] that can cause tissue overgrowth involving all three embryonic lineages. Patients with Proteus syndrome tend to have an increased risk of embryonic tumor development. [2] The clinical and radiographic symptoms of Proteus syndrome are highly variable, as are its orthopedic ...
In 2006, some doctors diagnosed Sellars as having Proteus syndrome, a very rare condition thought to affect only 120 people worldwide, [1] but more recent diagnoses have focused on a PIK3CA gene mutation. Some reports still describe her condition as a rare form of Proteus syndrome, [2] but Sellars herself has disputed the diagnosis. [3]

The disease belongs to a family of hamartomatous polyposis syndromes, which also includes Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis and Cowden syndrome. Mutation of the PTEN gene underlies this syndrome, as well as Cowden syndrome, Proteus syndrome, and Proteus-like syndrome, these four syndromes are referred to as PTEN Hamartoma-Tumor ...
On Tuesday's episode of I Am Shauna Rae, TLC's new show about a 22-year-old woman who has the body of an 8-year-old, Shauna Rae visited a doctor for a routine checkup and to ask about the ...
The small condyle can be present either one or both sides of the lower jaw. This type of condition usually happens as part of systemic diseases such as Hemifacial microsomia, Mandibulofacial Dysostosis, Goldenhar syndrome, Hurler syndrome, Proteus syndrome and Morquio syndrome. [2] [3] [4]
Proteus-like syndrome (PLS) is a condition similar to Proteus syndrome, but with an uncertain cause. [1] It's characterized by skeletal and hamartous overgrowth of multiple tissues, nevi in cerebriform connective tissue, blood vessel malformations and linear epidermal nevi.
Cohen was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at the University of Michigan, Tufts University, the University of Minnesota, and Boston University.His post-graduate training included a fellowship in pathology and medical genetics with Robert Gorlin (1923–2006), an oral pathologist and geneticist who described a large number of syndromes, including one they delineated together known as ...
