Meniconi Introduction 22-years old woman with recently diagnosed with Cowden Syndrome, was referred for recommendations regarding her glaucoma and uveitis treatment. 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.

Extractions: helpful? yes no Cowden disease: Cowden syndrome; Multiple Hamartoma syndrome Cowden disease (CD) is a rare inherited disorder of multiple hamartomas (non-cancerous tumour like growths) and an increased risk of a number of types of cancer . CD is named after the family of Rachel Cowden in whom the disorder was described in 1963. CD's mode of inheritance was identified in 1972 and the alternative name of Multiple Hamartoma syndrome was suggested. It is estimated that CD affects 1:300,000 individuals but is underdiagnosed. Both males and females are affected by CD. Onset is usually by the late 20s. CD is caused by mutations of the PTEN tumour suppressor gene on chromosome10. Features of CD may include: Hamartomas most commonly to be found on the skin and mucous membranes such as the lining of the mouth and nose but also in the intestines and other parts of the body; Non-cancerous tumours of the breast and thyroid;

Extractions: The incidence of syndrome associated with breast cancer is very low (less than 1%). The various syndromes associated with breast cancer are: A large number of sporadic cancers are due to mutation in p53 but when this occurs in germline cells, it results in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. It is characterized by premenopausal breast cancer in combination with childhood soft tissue tumours, brain tumors, leukemia, lymphoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma. The probability that these individuals will develop breast cancer is 60% overall. Germline mutations are mostly seen in the exon 7 of p53 gene. [OMIM] A detailed account of p53 is discussed here It is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by hamartomatous lesions in the breast, GI tract (polyps), CNS (Central Nervous System), skin and mucosa, eyes, thyroid, genitourinary tract and bones. Germline mutations in the PTEN gene is responsible for this syndrome. Diagnosis is established through identification of characteristic skin lesions (acral keratosis, facial trichilemmomas, and oral papules). It is also called as multiple hamartoma syndrome. PTEN is a tumour suppressor gene located on 10q23 chromosome. The gene product of PTEN is a phosphatase which plays an important role in regulating cell growth. Mutation in PTEN gene results in loss of protein function leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and hamartomatous growths.

Extractions: Since the discovery that germline mutations of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN cause Cowden syndrome, it has become evident that some women who present with breast cancer in the absence of obvious features of Cowden syndrome have unsuspected PTEN mutations. The same is likely to hold true for as yet uncertain numbers of men and women presenting with what appears to be isolated thyroid cancer or a broad range of other disorders, according to Dr. Eng, professor of medicine and director of the clinical cancer genetics program at Ohio State University in Columbus.

Extractions: Genes are small individual collections of information within each cell of the human body. Each gene is made of a unique sequence of DNA. Researchers working on the Human Genome Project have estimated that there are as many as 30,000 different genes in each cell. Genes are packaged onto chromosomes. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell. One chromosome of each pair is inherited from the person's father and one from the person's mother. Genes control much of how a cell functions, including its rate of growth, how often it divides, when it should live, and when it should die. Genes control these functions by producing proteins that carry out specific tasks for the cell. These proteins act as messengers in the cell. Therefore, it is essential that each gene have the correct instructions or "code" for making its protein so that the protein can perform the proper function for the cell.
