What causes Sturge Weber Sd?
“It has been hypothesized that somatic mosaic mutations disrupting
vascular development cause both the Sturge–Weber syndrome and
port-wine stains, and the severity and extent of presentation are
determined by the developmental time point at which the mutations
occurred.” Comi A
Happle R (1987)
• Somatic activating mutation in GNAQ in
CR 9
– In affected skin and brain tissue SWS (9pt)
– In affected skin of nonsyndromic PWS
– Not detected in normal skin or brain from
normal controls
2013 May 23 368(21):1971-9.

Macrocephaly-Capillary Malformation Syndrome
MCAP (Lindhurst et al, 2011)
• Somatic/postzygotic mosaicism
– Not found in DNA extracted from blood
– Found only in affected tissue
• Activating mutations
• Three core components of the
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-
AKT pathway
– AKT3-
– PIK3R2
– PIK3CA
Mosaic overgrowth with fibroadipose hyperplasia is caused by
somatic activating mutations in PIK3CA.

WHY so many clinical differences
• Tissue distribution of the mutation is different
• The level of the mutation is different
• The class of mutations

MCAP CLOVES
• Head and brain overgrowth

• Faint reticulated capillary
malformation
• Body overgroth minimal
• Lipomas rare
• Lymphatic malformation rare
• Head and brain normal
• Capillary stain darker, well
demarcated
• Overgrowth segmental, severe,
progressive
• Epidermal nevus
• Lipomas common
• Lymphatic malformation common
Is genetic testing the answer ?
Is genetic testing the answer ?
• Diagnosis of somatic mosaicism may be difficult due
to sampling of erroneus tissue
• Various mutation in any given gene
• Various levels of postzygotic mutations
• More widespread the skin larger number of
cells with mutation
• Various distribution of said mutations
Vascular Lesions & Overgrowth
General Approach
• Most cases overgrowth is already present at birth
• Follow-up and prognosis depends on degree of involvement
• Screening should be dictated by affected areas and signs
Physical exam
 Lenght discrepancies
 Head circunference
 Digital abnormalities
 Scoliosis
 Varicosities
 Check for epidermal nevus
 Check for cerebriform soles
What to Worry / What to screen
• Lenght abnormalitiesLower limb
• Cranial MRI:
• Megalencephaly; ventriculomegaly,
Megalencephaly
progressive macrocephaly
• D- dimers/ fibrinogen
• Consider prophylactic heparin at risk
Large venous malform
Intravascular coagulopathy
Pulmonary embolism
• Plain RX if scoliosis
• Basal Whole body MRI if truncal overgrowth
Spinal involvement:
lipomas, NF, spinal AVMs,
tethered
• Renal ultrasound evey 3 monts until 8 years
of ageCancer risk
General Approach
CM + overgrowth
• Limb lengths
• Renal ultrasound
• Prognosis is good
CM+ Leg discrepancy + Syndactily
Limb lengths/ RX at 1 y.o
Renal ultrasound
Prognosis is good
General approach: reticulated CM &
overgrowth
Limb lengths/ RX at 1 y.o
Renal ultrasound
Check macrocephaly
DCMO: good prognosis
MCAP: prognosis more
variable, Head MRI
Geographic CM + Overgrowth
Limb lengths
Chack varicosities
Check D-dimers/ fibrinogen
Prognosis depends on venous
anomalies
CM + Hemihipertrophy+
digital abnormalities
• Limb lengths
• Look for epidermal nevus
• Serial head circumference
• Consider screening MRI
(Cranial/ spinal)
• Renal ultrasound
• Follow yearly
PIK3CA mutations
• Drives cancers ( oncogenic mutation)
• Somatic mosaicism responsable for
developmental/overgrowth disorders
And….

WeekPre-treatment
VM can be treated topically using specific formulations
of PI3K inhibitors
• In vitro, Pt fibroblast showed overactivation of
PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was abrogated by pharmacological
inhibition of PI3K
• Growth factor-independent proliferation of Pt’s fibroblast was
decreased by the pharmacological blockade of PI3K
Summary
• Vascular lesions often associated with
overgrowth
• De-novo, postzygotic mutations in PIK3-AKT
pathway mutations
• Each patient is unique,
• Variation dictated by;
– Gene mutated, functional impairment , level of
mutated cells, distribution of mutated cells
• New treatment
– PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitors
