- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 49-year-old male with Cowden syndrome type 1 (CWS1) who was found to have a novel Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) gene variant, c.100G>C, leading to a missense mutation p.Ala34Pro. Topics discussed include the patient's clinical presentation with dermatologic and gastrointestinal features, the genetic analysis of the PTEN gene identifying the new variant, and the implications for genetic counseling and diagnosis in CWS1.
