Abstract
The presence of distinctive facies, extreme macrocephaly with normal to mildly high stature, and developmental delay may be useful for identifying patients with a PTEN mutation in childhood. Early identification of patients with a PTEN mutation would help uncover the natural course of tumor development in this group of individuals who have a possible predisposition to cancer, and be important for the development of an optimal surveillance strategy.
