Clinical Features | Percent Prevalence in CC Data Set of Pediatric Probands with PTEN Mutation |
---|---|
1. Macrocephaly (≥2 SD) | 100% |
2. At least one of the following four additional criteria should be present: | |
- Autism or developmental delay | 82% |
- Dermatologic features, including lipomas, trichilemmomas, oral papillomas, penile freckling | 60% |
- Vascular features, such as arteriovenous malformations or hemangiomas | 29% |
- Gastrointestinal polyps | 14% |
In addition, pediatric-onset thyroid cancer and germ cell tumors (testicular cancer and dysgerminoma) are recognized associations of Cowden syndrome and should provoke consideration of PTEN testing.
