Dec 14, 2021 · McCune-Albright syndrome is a genetic condition that affects your bones, skin and endocrine system, causing café-au-lait skin pigmentation, scar tissue forming on bones (fibrous dysplasia) and irregular function of growth-regulating glands that produce hormones.
McCune–Albright syndrome is a complex genetic disorder affecting the bone, skin and endocrine systems. It is a mosaic disease arising from somatic activating mutations in GNAS, which encodes the alpha-subunit of the G s heterotrimeric G protein. [1]
McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a disorder that affects the skin, skeleton, and certain endocrine organs (hormone-producing tissues). Cafe-au-lait spots of the skin are common and are usually the first apparent sign of MAS.
McCune-Albright syndrome is a disorder that affects the bones, skin, and several hormone-producing (endocrine) tissues. People with McCune-Albright syndrome develop areas of abnormal scar-like (fibrous) tissue in their bones, a condition called polyostotic fibrous dysplasia.
McCune-Albright syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a random mutation of the gene, GNAS1. The syndrome is not inherited. Rather, the gene mutation takes place after conception and not all of the copies of the GNAS1 gene have the abnormality. The severity of the disease depends on the number of cells in the body that have the faulty gene.
Jul 10, 2023 · McCune-Albright syndrome is a rare genetic disordered originally recognized by the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, precocious puberty, and café-au-lait spots.
McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a rare, mosaic disorder presenting along a broad clinical spectrum. Disease arises from somatic activating GNAS mutations, leading to constitutive Gα s activation and ligand-independent signaling of the G s-coupled protein receptor.
NIDCR pediatric endocrinologist Alison Boyce is investigating better ways to treat and diagnose patients with Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS), a rare disorder of the skeleton, skin, and endocrine system.
May 10, 2012 · McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) MAS is a genetic disease that affects the bones, skin, and the production of certain hormones, including those that affect growth and the onset of puberty. NICHD supports research to understand the genetic causes of MAS, how it affects the body, and treatments for MAS and related conditions.
McCune-Albright syndrome. Also known as: Albright-McCune-Sternberg syndrome, Albright-Sternberg syndrome, Albright syndrome, Albright's disease, Albright's disease of bone, Albright's syndrome, Albright's syndrome with precocious puberty, fibrous dysplasia with pigmentary skin changes and precocious puberty, MAS, osteitis fibrosa disseminata ...
