Background: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS; OMIM#174800) is a rare disorder hallmarked by the triad fibrous osseous dysplasia, cafè-au-lait skin spots and endocrine hyperfunctions, usually peripheral precocious puberty. It is caused by post-zygotic activating mutations at R201 codon of the GNAS gene, which lead to a somatic mosaic state; the clinical manifestations of MAS are highly heterogeneous due to variability of mutation abundance among affected tissues.<p class=...
