Proteus Syndrome Foundation

2024 PSF Conference Updates and Zoom recordings will be posted asap.

Welcome to the Proteus Syndrome Foundation (PSF). We are composed of families who connect with each other through the foundation and professionals who work tirelessly to help find effective treatments for Proteus. The PSF provides support through family conferences, family sharing through our (new) PSF Forum on our web page, and grants for families in need of assistance. Proteus syndrome can be an isolating and scary syndrome but as we come together under the PSF umbrella, we will never stand alone.

What is Proteus Syndrome?

Proteus Syndrome is a condition which involves atypical growth of the bones, skin and head, and can lead to a variety of other symptoms. The condition is caused by a genetic mutation in AKT1, an important gene that helps to regulate the growth of cells. Now that genetic testing for the AKT1 mutation is available, it is important to get tested. In the spring of 2019 the PSF will be able to offer this confidential testing to families.
Please contact the Proteus Syndrome Foundation to learn more.
