McCune-Albright syndrom

McCune-Albright syndrom is caused by somatic mutations of the GNAS gene occuring early in development and resulting in a mosaic of normal and altered cells. It is characterized by the triad of precocious puberty, fibrous dysplasia of bone, and café au lait lesions

Symptoms
