Informations about the disease
Cowden syndrome is a genodermatosis characterised by multiple hamartomas in different tissues and an increased risk of malignant tumours of the breast, thyroid, endometrium, kidney and colon rectum. Disease manifestations usually appear between the second and third decade of life, but can occur at any age. 25% of cases are caused by germ line mutations in the phosphatase and tensin homologue gene (PTEN). Other etiologies include germ line promoter methylation of the KLLN gene (30% of PTEN negative cases), mutations in the SDHB, SDHC or SDHD genes (10% of cases) and mutations in the AKT1 and PIK3CA genes (10% of cases).
