   When does Proteus syndrome start?

   • Blood vessels and internal organs can also be affected. The symptoms and features of Proteus syndrome aren't present at birth. When the infant begins to grow, the condition will become apparent — typically between 6 and 18 months of age. The condition becomes more severe as the child continues to grow.

   Is Proteus syndrome inherited?

   • Proteus syndrome is not inherited but is caused by a mutation that occurs during development. Researchers believe that this somatic mutation occurs randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically). Some researchers have attributed a subset of individuals with Proteus syndrome to variants in the PTEN gene located on chromosome 10.

   Aug 9, 2012 · Proteus syndrome (PS) is characterized by progressive segmental or patchy overgrowth most commonly affecting the skeleton, skin, adipose, and central nervous systems. In most individuals PS has modest or no manifestations at birth, develops and progresses rapidly beginning in the toddler period, and relentlessly progresses through childhood, causing severe overgrowth and disfigurement. It is ...

   Aug 26, 2013 · Proteus syndrome is a rare overgrowth condition. The overgrowth in Proteus syndrome can cause differences in the appearance and growth rate of various body parts. This overgrowth is also typically asymmetric, that is, it does not affect corresponding body parts similarly. The word "Proteus" comes from the name of the ancient Greek god of change.
