National Evaluation of Patients With PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum (PROS)

Overgrowth syndromes are rare genetic disorders defined by tissue hypertrophy that can be either localized or generalized, affecting both latitudinal and longitudinal growth. The genes involved in overgrowth syndromes are not well characterized but mostly concern the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR pathway, a major actor of cell growth and proliferation. The mutations are not inherited but occurs during embryogenesis leading to somatic mosaicism. Owing to the variability of the clinical presentation, their exact prevalence is yet unknown. In order to answer this question, the investigators team create here the first French national registry on overgrowth syndromes.

Treatment and study plan

national registry

Other

The investigators will collect demographic, clinical, biological and imaging characteristics of patients with PROS.

Primary outcomes

  1. Description of patients with overgrowth syndromes

    Time frame: 5 years

    Clinical and molecular characterization of patients with overgrowth syndromes will be performed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Prevalence of overgrowth syndromes in France

    Time frame: 5 years

    An estimation of the prevalence of overgrowth syndromes in France will be done

  2. Biobanking of samples derived from patients with overgrowth syndromes

    Time frame: 5 years

    A biobank will be created with biological samples (plasma) collected for research and residual biological samples from patient cares (treatment/diagnosis)

  3. Description of patient cares: mumber of consultations and hospitalizations, number of treatment lines, grouping of patients by type of course (clusters)

    Time frame: 5 years

    An analysis of care trajectories will be performed. These data will be collected from health insurance databases for patients with overgrowth syndromes.

  4. Economic evaluation of cares for patients with overgrowth syndromes: cost of care, per period and cumulative.

    Time frame: 5 years

    SDNS data will be used to estimate care costs per year for patients with overgrowth syndrome.
