Proteus syndrome is an overgrowth disorder caused by a rare genetic mosaicism. A genetic mutation during embryonic development gives rise to overgrowth in a subset of the individual's cells. In 2011 researchers determined the cause of Proteus syndrome.
Proteus syndrome is a rare condition characterized by overgrowth of the bones, skin, and other tissues. Explore symptoms, inheritance, genetics of this condition.
Proteus syndrome is a rare genetic condition that causes excessive growth of your bones, skin, organs and/or tissues. The disease causes parts of your body to grow out of proportion with the rest of it.
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 ...
Proteus syndrome is characterized by excessive growth of a part or portion of the body. The overgrowth is usually asymmetric, which means it affects the right and left sides of the body differently. Newborns with Proteus syndrome have few or no signs of the disorder.
Sep 19, 2017 · Proteus syndrome is an extremely rare but chronic, or long-term, condition. It causes an overgrowth of skin, bones, blood vessels, and fatty and connective tissue.
Aug 4, 2023 · Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by overgrowth of various tissues of the body. The cause of the disorder is a mosaic variant in a gene called AKT1. Disproportionate, asymmetric overgrowth occurs in a mosaic pattern (i.e., a random “patchy” pattern of affected and unaffected areas).
