McCune-Albright syndrome

McCune-Albright syndrome, described in 1937 by McCune and Albright, is a disease where two of the three following features are present:

  • (autonomous) endocrine hyperfunction
  • Fibrous dysplasia
  • CafĂ©-au-lait spots


The endocrine aspect of the disease can manifest itself as extremely premature puberty.

Genetically, there is a post-zygotic mutation of a gene involved in G-protein signalling, preventing downregulation of cAMP signalling.
