    McCune–Albright syndrome

    McCune–Albright syndrome is a complex genetic disorder affecting the bone, skin and endocrine systems. It is a mosaic disease arising from somatic activating mutations in GNAS, which encodes the alpha-subunit of the Gs heterotrimeric G protein.[1]

    It was first described in 1937 by American pediatrician Donovan James McCune and American endocrinologist Fuller Albright.[2][3][4]
