    Cowden Syndrome
    The risk for breast cancer is increased with Cowden syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder that is also associated with a number of specific noncancerous features. Cowden syndrome is associated with the following characteristics:

    • macrocephaly (increased head size)
      increased risk of breast cancer, with an average age of onset ranging from 38 to 46 years
      increased risk of thyroid cancer
      increased risk of endometrial cancer
    Additional features can include noncancerous thyroid lesions, hamartomatous intestinal polyps, lipomas (benign fatty tumors), fibromas, uterine fibroids, and fibrocystic disease of the breast. Some individuals who have inherited a germline PTEN mutation never develop cancer because they never get the second mutation necessary to knock out the function of the gene and start the process of tumor formation. This can make the cancer appear to skip generations in a family, when, in reality, the mutation is present. Persons with a mutation, regardless of whether they develop cancer, however, have a 50/50 chance to pass the mutation on to the next generation. It is also important to remember that the PTEN gene is not located on the sex chromosomes. Therefore, mutations can be inherited from the mother or the father's side of the family.

Cowden Syndrome
The risk for breast cancer is increased with Cowden syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant disorder that is also associated with a number of specific noncancerous features. Cowden syndrome is associated with the following characteristics:
  • multiple hamartomatous lesions (benign, or noncancerous, tumors of normal organ tissue) of the skin and other organs, usually present by the late 20s macrocephaly (increased head size) increased risk of breast cancer, with an average age of onset ranging from 38 to 46 years increased risk of thyroid cancer increased risk of endometrial cancer
Additional features can include noncancerous thyroid lesions, hamartomatous intestinal polyps, lipomas (benign fatty tumors), fibromas, uterine fibroids, and fibrocystic disease of the breast. Cowden syndrome is caused by mutations in a gene on chromosome 10 known as PTEN. About 80 percent of people whose symptoms meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Cowden syndrome will have a PTEN mutation. Mutations in PTEN confer a 25 percent to 50 percent lifetime risk for breast cancer, about a 10 percent risk of thyroid cancer, and potentially up to a 5 percent to 10 percent risk of endometrial cancer, although this risk is still being evaluated. Some individuals who have inherited a germline PTEN mutation never develop cancer because they never get the second mutation necessary to knock out the function of the gene and start the process of tumor formation. This can make the cancer appear to skip generations in a family, when, in reality, the mutation is present. Persons with a mutation, regardless of whether they develop cancer, however, have a 50/50 chance to pass the mutation on to the next generation.

Sindrome de Cowden (Breast Health - Cowden Syndrome)
  • macrocefalia (tamano aumentado de la cabeza) mayor riesgo de cancer del seno, con una edad promedio de aparicion de 38 a 46 anos mayor riesgo de cancer de tiroides mayor riesgo de cancer endometrial
Se pueden incluir caracteristicas adicionales como lesiones tiroideas no cancerosas, polipos intestinales hamartomatosos, lipomas (tumores adiposos benignos), fibromas, miomas uterinos y enfermedad fibroquistica del seno. Algunos individuos que han heredado una mutacion germinal PTEN jamas desarrollan cancer porque nunca se produce la segunda mutacion necesaria para destruir la funcion del gen e iniciar el proceso de formacion del tumor. Esto puede simular que el cancer saltea generaciones en una familia, cuando, en realidad, la mutacion esta presente. Sin embargo, las personas con una mutacion, sin tener en cuenta si desarrollan cancer o no, tienen un 50 por ciento de probabilidades de transmitir la mutacion a la generacion siguiente. Ademas, es importante recordar que el gen PTEN no se localiza en los cromosomas sexuales. Por lo tanto, las mutaciones se pueden heredar de parte de la familia materna o paterna.

PTEN gene of Cowden Syndrome found in Autism
By Ohio State University
Apr 8, 2005, 01:36
A gene that is changed in many forms of cancer has also been found to show similar changes in some forms of autism, according to preliminary research.
The gene, known as PTEN, was found to be changed, or mutated, in three of 18 people with larger than normal heads and autism spectrum disorder. Autism spectrum disorder includes classical autism, Rett syndrome and other conditions.
The study was led by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital (OSU CCC-James) and Richard J. Solove Research Institute and at Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, Kansas City, Mo.
Inherited gene mutations in the PTEN gene are seen in Cowden syndrome, a poorly recognized disorder that increases a person’s risk of developing cancers of the breast, thyroid and uterus. PTEN mutations are also found in several non-inherited (i.e., spontaneous) cancers, including thyroid and endometrial cancers and some brain tumors.
The findings, published in the April Journal of Medical Genetics, raise the possibility that some people with autism and large heads may have an increased risk of cancer.

Identity Other names Multiple hamartoma syndrome Inheritance autosomal dominant; high penetrance (close to 100% by the age of 30 yrs); highly variable expressivity (between and within families) Clinics Phenotype and clinics clinical manifestations usually occur during the 2nd and 3rd decade; they are dystrophic, hamartomatous or tumoral lesions including the following to variable extend:
- mucocutaneous papillomatous lesions (facial papules, sometimes related to trichilemmoma; oral papillomatosis with cobblestone gingiva; acral keratoses)
- both dystrophic and adenomatous multinodular goiter
- intestinal tract polyps with variable histologies
- adenosis and fibrocystic disease of the breast
- macrocephaly
- lipomas
- genito-urinary abnormalities
