<meta name="description" content="Proteus syndrome (PS) is characterized by progressive segmental or patchy overgrowth most commonly affecting the skeleton, skin, adipose, and central nervous systems. In most individuals PS has modest or no manifestations at birth, develops and progresses rapidly beginning in the toddler period, and relentlessly progresses through childhood, causing severe overgrowth and disfigurement. It is associated with a range of tumors, pulmonary complications, and a striking predisposition to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.">

characteristics.</h4><p>Proteus syndrome (PS) is characterized by progressive segmental or patchy overgrowth most commonly affecting the skeleton, skin, adipose, and central nervous systems. In most individuals PS has modest or no manifestations at birth, develops and progresses rapidly beginning in the toddler period, and relentlessly progresses through childhood, causing severe overgrowth and disfigurement. It is associated with a range of tumors, pulmonary complications, and a striking predisposition to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of PS is established in a proband with all three general criteria (mosaic distribution of lesions, sporadic occurrence, progressive course) and a clinical score based on positive and negative criteria of at least ten points in an individual <b>with</b> a mosaic <i>AKT1</i> pathogenic variant or at least 15 points in an individual <b>without</b> a mosaic <i>AKT1</i> pathogenic variant identified by molecular genetic testing. The diagnosis of <i>AKT1</i>-related overgrowth spectrum is established in an individual <b>with</b> a mosaic <i>AKT1</i> pathogenic variant and a clinical score of 2-9.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Management of overgrowth including orthopedic procedures to delay or halt linear bone growth; rehabilitation medicine care including physical and occupational therapy; correction of skeletal deformities such as scoliosis; dermatologic management of the skin manifestations, especially the cerebriform connective tissue nevi with pedorthic intervention as needed; surgery as needed for lipomatous overgrowth; evaluation and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; treatment of tumors per surgeon and/or oncologist; treatment of bullous pulmonary disease per pulmonologist; developmental intervention and/or special education for developmental delays; psychosocial counseling is warranted in most individuals.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Monitoring should be tailored to individual presentation. Orthopedic, rehabilitation medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, pulmonary, dermatology, and developmental evaluations as needed; routine monitoring for evidence of tumor development is by medical history and physical examination; periodic imaging is not indicated.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Medications that increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis or are procoagulant; medications that increase growth (e.g., androgenic steroids, growth hormone).</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>PS and <i>AKT1</i>-related overgrowth spectrum are not inherited: there are no confirmed occurrences of vertical transmission or sib recurrence. There is no known risk to offspring of an affected individual; however, the number of affected individuals who have reproduced is very small. Thus, the risks to the parents of an affected child and to affected persons who do reproduce are not increased compared to the general population. Because PS and <i>AKT1</i>-related overgrowth spectrum are not inherited, prenatal testing is not indicated.</p></div></div><div id="proteus.GeneReview_Scope"><h2 id="_proteus_GeneReview_Scope_"><i>GeneReview</i> Scope</h2><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figproteusTd"><a href="/books/NBK99495/table/proteus.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img" rid-ob="figobproteusTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/css/bookshelf/2.26/img/table-icon.gif" alt="Table Icon" /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="proteus.Td"><a href="/books/NBK99495/table/proteus.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobproteusTd">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Proteus syndrome <i>AKT1</i>-related Proteus syndrome (clinical-molecular diagnosis)</p></div></div></div><div id="proteus.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_proteus_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><p>Consensus clinical diagnostic criteria for Proteus syndrome (PS) have been published [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.sapp.2019.565" rid="proteus.REF.sapp.2019.565">Sapp et al 2019</a>].</p><div id="proteus.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p>PS <b>should be suspected</b> in a proband with the following:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Distorting, progressive overgrowth, typically of postnatal onset, often resulting in asymmetric distortion of the skeletal architecture.

Because all <i>AKT1</i> pathogenic variants reported to date are somatic and mosaic, more than one tissue sample may be required for diagnosis. (2) Only two affected individuals are known to have an <i>AKT1</i> pathogenic variant identified in a peripheral blood sample. Therefore, the absence of a pathogenic variant in a peripheral blood sample is not sufficient to exclude the diagnosis and molecular genetic testing of DNA from affected tissue is strongly recommended.</p><p><b>Single-gene testing.</b> Sequence analysis of <i>AKT1</i> may be considered. Typically, if no variant is detected by the sequencing method used, the next step is to perform gene-targeted deletion/duplication analysis to detect exon and whole-gene deletions or duplications; however, to date such variants have not been identified as a cause of this disorder.</p><p><b>A multigene panel</b> that includes <i>AKT1</i> and other genes of interest (see <a href="#proteus.Differential_Diagnosis">Differential Diagnosis</a>) may be considered to identify the genetic cause of the condition while limiting identification of variants of uncertain significance and pathogenic variants in genes that do not explain the underlying phenotype. Note: (1) The genes included in the panel and the diagnostic sensitivity of the testing used for each gene vary by laboratory and are likely to change over time. (2) Some multigene panels may include genes not associated with the condition discussed in this <i>GeneReview</i>. (3) In some laboratories, panel options may include a custom laboratory-designed panel and/or custom phenotype-focused exome analysis that includes genes specified by the clinician.

Some individuals are minimally affected, but others are quite severely affected. Among the individuals in the NIH <i>AKT1</i>-related Proteus syndrome (<i>AKT1-</i>PS) cohort, there was a projected 25% mortality before age 20 years [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.sapp.2017.1376" rid="proteus.REF.sapp.2017.1376">Sapp et al 2017</a>].</p><p>Most affected individuals have few or no manifestations at birth. Most typically, the first manifestations of the disorder occur between age six and 18 months with the onset of asymmetric overgrowth; it is most commonly of the feet or hands but may occur anywhere. An exception is that a few individuals (probably <5%) first manifest PS with hemimegencephaly, often associated with central nervous system migration defects and later intellectual disability. This manifestation is prenatal. There is a single individual reported with prenatal diagnosis of generalized overgrowth, but this presentation is distinctly unusual [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.abell.2020.1733" rid="proteus.REF.abell.2020.1733">Abell et al 2020</a>]. In most other affected individuals, the congenital manifestations are so subtle as to be discounted or missed. These include subtle degrees of asymmetry or faint linear nevi.</p><p><b>Overgrowth.</b> The overgrowth in PS can be startling in its severity and rapidity of progression in contrast to most segmental overgrowth disorders. The overgrowth in individuals with PS is, for most parts of the skeleton (except congenital hemimegencephaly), absent or minimal at birth, does not typically manifest until age six to 18 months, and has had its onset as late as age 12 years. The typical progression of an area of overgrowth in an individual with PS is 15% larger at age one year, 30% larger at three years, and 100% larger at age six years. On plain radiographs the bones affected by PS, especially the tubular bones of the limbs, the vertebral bodies, and the skull, develop distorting, bizarre, irregular calcified overgrowth that can render the bone unrecognizable with time. The rapid and severe nature of the overgrowth poses a challenge to orthopedic management. It is not uncommon for the overgrowth to accelerate rapidly in childhood, with leg length discrepancies of 20 cm being reported. Scoliotic curves of more than 90 degrees are not uncommon. Any bone can be affected.</p><p>Many individuals with PS have (often unilateral) overgrowth of the tonsils/adenoids. Splenic overgrowth and asymmetric enlargement of the kidneys and testes are also not uncommon in individuals with PS.</p><p><b>Dermatologic findings.</b> Cerebriform connective tissue nevi (CCTN) are present in most individuals with PS and are nearly pathognomonic. CCTN are rarely present in infancy, typically developing in childhood and progressing through adolescence. They are most commonly found on the sole, hand, alae, ear, and lacrimal puncta. CCTN are firm and have a distinct pattern resembling the brain's sulci and gyri (hence the term "cerebriform"). They should not be confused with prominent plantar or palmar wrinkling seen in other forms of overgrowth (see <a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.sapp.2007.2944" rid="proteus.REF.sapp.2007.2944">Sapp et al [2007]</a> for photographic examples of lesions with similar appearance to CCTN). CCTN rarely progress in adulthood [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.beachkofsky.2010.799" rid="proteus.REF.beachkofsky.2010.799">Beachkofsky et al 2010</a>]. The sulci of CCTN often become deep enough in late adolescence to pose challenges with cleanliness and malodor.</p><p>Linear verrucous epidermal nevi are streaky, pigmented, rough nevi that often follow the lines of Blaschko. They can be present anywhere on the body. They are most commonly recognized in the first months of life and are generally stable over time [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.twede.2005.834" rid="proteus.REF.twede.2005.834">Twede et al 2005</a>].</p><p>Less common dermatologic findings include hypertrichosis or acne in patterns that follow the lines of Blaschko [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.cartron.2020.1072" rid="proteus.REF.cartron.2020.1072">Cartron et al 2020</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.pithadia.2021.415" rid="proteus.REF.pithadia.2021.415">Pithadia et al 2021</a>]. These dermatologic findings are relatively specific for PS and can be useful in clinical diagnosis.</p><p><b>Overgrowth of lipomatous tissue / lipoatrophy.</b> It is common for individuals to manifest overgrowth of adipose tissue, most often in infancy. Overgrowth of adipose tissue can continue to appear in novel locations throughout childhood and into young adulthood. Similarly, many individuals with PS experience marked regional lipoatrophy, and many manifest both regional lipomatous overgrowth and lipoatrophy. Persons with PS do not have the typical ovoid, encapsulated lipomas common in the elderly, and so the term "lipoma" is technically incorrect but in wide usage. Fatty infiltration of the myocardium, particularly the intraventricular septum, has been observed in a number of children and adults with PS with no functional consequences [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.hannoush.2015.103" rid="proteus.REF.hannoush.2015.103">Hannoush et al 2015</a>].</p><p><b>Vascular malformations.</b> Many individuals with PS have cutaneous capillary malformations and prominent venous patterning or varicosities; large and complex vascular malformations affect some individuals. Vascular malformations are commonly recognized in the first months of life and are generally stable over time [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.twede.2005.834" rid="proteus.REF.twede.2005.834">Twede et al 2005</a>]. Lymphatic vascular malformations can arise in any tissue that normally includes such vessels. These can be progressive and are often present with areas of lipomatous overgrowth, which can complicate surgical approaches to lipomas.</p><p>The most urgent and life-threatening complication of PS can be deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.slavotinek.2000.386" rid="proteus.REF.slavotinek.2000.386">Slavotinek et al 2000</a>]. Individuals with DVT can present with a palpable subcutaneous rope-like mass, swelling, erythema, pain, and distal venous congestion. Symptoms of PE include shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough, which may include hemoptysis. The rarity of DVT and PE in the general pediatric population can result in a delay in diagnosis.</p><p>Those with PS manifest skeletal and other overgrowth in areas where no vascular malformations are present (unlike some other overgrowth conditions).</p><p>Importantly, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is uncommon in PS.</p><p>Pulmonary venous dilatation on chest imaging is common [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.mirmomen.2021.6577" rid="proteus.REF.mirmomen.2021.6577">Mirmomen et al 2021</a>]. Other chest imaging findings can include bullae, fibrotic lesions, and masses.</p><p><b>Tumors,</b> most of which are benign, observed in multiple individuals include meningiomas and ovarian cystadenomas. A number of other tumors have been seen in individuals with PS. It is presumed that PS causes a modest but significant increase in many types of tumors, in contrast to other syndromes that are associated with a very specific subset of tumors. Some of these tumors (especially the ovarian tumors) can exhibit borderline histology with attributes of both benign and malignant lesions. These must be evaluated thoroughly by experts with knowledge of both gynecologic malignancy and Proteus hyperplasia.</p><p><b>Bullous pulmonary disease</b> is uncommon but does affect some individuals with PS [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.lim.2011.865" rid="proteus.REF.lim.2011.865">Lim et al 2011</a>], most commonly in late childhood or adolescence. As with other disease manifestations, this can progress with startling rapidity. It commonly manifests by reduced exercise tolerance or as an incidental finding from chest imaging. This can be identified by pulmonary scarring and hyperlucencies on pulmonary imaging [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.mirmomen.2021.6577" rid="proteus.REF.mirmomen.2021.6577">Mirmomen et al 2021</a>].</p><p><b>Dysmorphic facial features</b> typically evolve during childhood and are not obvious at birth. Reported facial features include dolichocephaly, long face, downslanting palpebral fissures, and/or minor ptosis, depressed nasal bridge, wide or anteverted nares, and open mouth at rest.</p><p><b>Gynecologic manifestations.</b> Several individuals have been described with severe, complex overgrowth of the uterus, cervix, and ovaries that can be difficult to distinguish from malignancy [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.leoni.2019.1319" rid="proteus.REF.leoni.2019.1319">Leoni et al 2019</a>; <a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.severinofreire.2019.270" rid="proteus.REF.severinofreire.2019.270">Severino-Freire et al 2019</a>; Biesecker, unpublished observations].</p><p><b>Psychosocial issues.</b> In addition to functional compromise, the skeletal and connective tissue overgrowth of PS can result in disfigurement for some individuals, a significant concern for many families [<a class="bibr" href="#proteus.REF.turner.2007.2089" rid="proteus.REF.turner.2007.2089">Turner et al 2007</a>]. This condition is progressive, and the degree of severity varies widely among individuals, creating uncertainty for both clinicians and families. Coping with an ultra-rare and chronic condition like PS poses challenges for many individuals and families.</p><p><b>Prognosis</b> is based on the location and degree of the overgrowth present in the individual and the presence or absence of significant complications such as bullous pulmonary disease, hemimegencephaly, and PE. The disorder is highly variable. While it is difficult to calculate average life expectancy, it is clear that there are many more children with PS than adults. With appropriate management, mildly affected individuals have an excellent prognosis.</p></div><div id="proteus.AKT1Related_Overgrowth_Spectrum"><h3><i>AKT1</i>-Related Overgrowth Spectrum</h3><p>Because PS is a mosaic disorder, it is axiomatic that there will be substantial interindividual phenotypic variation because every affected individual has the causative variant in a distinct spectrum of their tissues. This variation is in both the nature and the severity of the manifestations.
