Overview
The most common cause of cowden syndrome is PTEN gene mutations. PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) which includes a group of many disorders Cowden syndrome (CS), Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) and Proteus and Proteus-like syndrome (PS).
Causes
Common Genetic Causes
Common causes of cowden syndrome may include:[1][2]
- PTEN gene mutations in a gene on chromosome 10
- Allelic heterogeneity is positive in cowden syndrome
Less Common Genetic Causes
Less common causes of cowden syndrome include:[3][4]
- KLLN (KILLIN) gene mutation
- Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) gene mutation[5]
- SEC23B gene mutation[6]
- EGFR gene mutation[7]
