Recurrent somatic mutations of PRKAR1A in isolated cardiac myxoma
Background Cardiac myxomas are benign tumors that commonly arise within the left atria. Familial cardiac myxomas are a part of Carney Complex (CNC), an autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome caused by germline mutations in PRKAR1A. Seven percent of cardiac myxomas are associated with CNC. To date, the genetic basis of isolated cardiac myxomas (ICM), however, has not been fully elucidate...
متن کاملCarney complex with PRKAR1A gene mutation
RATIONALE Carney complex (CNC) is a multiple neoplasia syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance. CNC is characterized by the presence of myxomas, spotty skin pigmentation, and endocrine overactivity. No direct correlation has been established between disease-causing mutations and phenotype. PATIENT CONCERNS A 16-year-old boy was admitted because of excessive weight gain over 3 years and p...
متن کاملRare association of acromegaly with left atrial myxoma in Carney's complex due to novel PRKAR1A mutation
UNLABELLED Carney complex (CNC) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by pigmented lesions of the skin and mucosae along with cardiac, endocrine, cutaneous, and neural myxomatous tumors. Mutations in the PRKAR1A gene have been identified in ∼70% of the CNC cases reported worldwide. A 30-year-old male was referred to the endocrinology clinic with suspected acromegaly. He had a hist...
متن کاملNovel Mutation in PRKAR1A in Carney Complex
A case of Carney complex in a Korean patient is presented. The patient had the characteristics of Carney complex including skin lesions, positive family history, and multiple myxomas including a superficial angiomyxoma in the perianal area. An extensive genetic analysis revealed a novel mutation in the protein kinase A type I-a regulatory subunit (PRKAR1A) gene, but not in the phosphodiesterase...
متن کاملAnalysis of KRAS gene mutation associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer
Objective(s): KRAS proto-oncogene mutation can be considered a diagnostic factor for treating various malignancies. Helicobacter pylori infection, a risk factor for stomach cancer, may cause DNA damage and genetic changes. The aim of the current study was to assess the association of gastric cancer and KRAS mutation, demographic factors, and H. pylori infection.<...
