Abstract excerpt
Cowden disease is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with an elevated risk of breast, thyroid and skin cancers, in which germline mutations of a tumour suppressor gene (PTEN) have been identified.

Previous genotype/phenotype correlations have identified several potential associations, for example that...
