Mc Cune Albright syndrome
Clinical Features
- Precocious Puberty
- Fibrous Dysplasia of Long Bones
- Cafe au lait spots*
- Irregular macules confined to one side of the body
- So just writing in next line with * will continue the bullet points
Explanation
McCune Albright Syndrome occurs due to mutation in the GNAS gene which leads to constant G- protein activation which leads to overproduction of pituitary hormones.
Thus in addition to precocious puberty ( GnRH independent increase in LH and FSH), MAS can cause an increase in TSH and GH and ACTH leading to Cushing syndrome.
