Cowden syndrome 5

Cowden syndrome 5 is a rare inherited condition caused by a mutation in the PIK3CA gene. It is also known by several other names, including Cowden disease caused by mutation in PIK3CA, Cowden syndrome type 5, PIK3CA Cowden disease, and CWS5. This condition is defined by the presence of a specific genetic mutation that affects cell growth and development. Because Cowden syndrome 5 is a genetic disorder, the mutation in the PIK3CA gene plays a key role in its development. More detailed explanations of how this mutation affects the body are not fully available from the sources provided, and further research may help clarify its full impact on affected individuals.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Cowden syndrome 5 is caused by a mutation in the PIK3CA gene. This genetic change is the main cause of the condition and leads to abnormal cell growth. The mutation is the defining factor for diagnosing Cowden syndrome 5, distinguishing it from other forms of Cowden disease.
