Skeletal dysplasia
Gene: AKT1
AD - Proteus (but not Cowden) is listed in Overgrowth (tall stature) syndromes with skeletal involvement gp of SD. Two cases with missense variants reported in association with Cowden (Orloff et al 2013). Proteus is associated with mosaicism for a somatic activating mutation E17K (1-50%). ? test sensitive enough ; Review on behalf of Tracy LesterCreated: 6 Mar 2019, 11:44 a.m.

Associated with several phenotypes in OMIM including Proteus syndrome, somatic # 176920. Proteus syndrome features overgrowth of body parts and is associated with mosaicism for a somatic activating mutation in the AKT1 gene.
PMID: 21793738 - Lindhurst et al 2011 - Of 29 patients with the Proteus syndrome, 26 had a somatic activating mutation (c.49G→A, p.Glu17Lys) in the oncogene AKT1. Tissues and cell lines from patients with the Proteus syndrome harbored admixtures of mutant alleles that ranged from 1% to approximately 50%. Mutant cell lines showed greater AKT phosphorylation than did control cell lines.
