Description
Cowden syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by macrocephaly and multiple hamartomas. The responsible gene is PTEN (phosphate and tensin homolog detected on chromosome 10), which negatively regulates cell proliferation and survival. We herein present a 46-year-old woman with the typical clinical features of CS. A DNA sequencing analysis of the coding regions and flanking introns of the PTEN gene revealed a novel heterozygous mutation (c.403A > G, p.Ile135Val) in exon 5 that had not been previously reported in CS.
