Abstract
McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare genetic disease affecting multiple organs, including endocrine tissues. This endocrinopathy is sometimes responsible for infertility, as it may induce an independent functioning of the ovaries leading to anovulatory cycles. This case report describes the infertility journey of a 22-year-old female who had early puberty and irregular periods with high estrogen and progesterone levels, low FSH and LH (on day 3 of her menstrual cycle), and a multi-cystic right ovary. She received several infertility treatments: initially in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) followed by cyst transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration, all unsuccessful. A right hemi-ovariectomy was performed that eventually restored regular cycles and made it possible to perform ovarian stimulation (OS) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Live birth was obtained after the first embryo transfer.

Fertility in McCune Albright syndrome female: A case study focusing on AMH as a marker of ovarian dysfunction and a literature review. J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod 2021; 50:102171.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular basis of McCune Albright syndrome (MAS) is a recurrent GNAS Postzygotic gain of function sporadic mutation, resulting in a mosaic disease. Most of girls present precocious puberty, caused by the development of recurrent ovarian cysts with autonomous Hyperestrogenic stimulation. After menarche, the majority of patients with ovarian GNAS mutation have menstrual disturbances and infertility. OBJECTIVES We wanted to focus on the fertility of MAS females and propose an appropriate management, by a detailed case report and an exhaustive review of the literature on fertility and pregnancy in MAS females. RESULTS We present the case of a 29-year-old MAS female, who had previously undergone a unilateral ovariectomy and was managed by in vitro fertilization (IVF). Eight oocytes with many morphological abnormalities were retrieved. The GNAS mutation was found at a low frequency in follicular cells. The ovarian histopathological examination showed developing follicles of all stages, strongly expressing AMH by immunohistochemistry. In addition, AMH was high (45.5 pmol/L) and the AMH / AFC ratio (5.69 pmol/L per follicle) was much higher than in PCOS and control groups (2.16, and 1.34 respectively). CONCLUSIONS Ovarian and endometrial involvement can be responsible for infertility in MAS women. IVF and oophorectomy may be useful in management. The genetic characterization of the different tissues may have a prognostic utility. Moreover, we suggest that the AMH could be a marker of the ovarian activity in MAS. Further studies are needed to clarify the potential oocyte abnormalities and the risk of miscarriages in order to guide genetic counseling.

Abstract
Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia lesions has been reported in patients with fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS). Recently, we have observed an increased risk for breast cancer. In this study, the prevalence of skeletal and extraskeletal malignancies in patients with FD/MAS in the Netherlands was assessed by analyzing data from our cohort of FD/MAS patients, the Dutch Pathology Registry (PALGA), and the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). We extracted data on sex, age at diagnosis of FD/MAS, type of FD/MAS, type of malignancy, and age at diagnosis of malignancy and histology of bone and malignant tissue when available, including GNAS-mutation analysis from patients' medical records. Standardized Morbidity Ratios (SMRs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Twelve malignancies were identified in the LUMC FD/MAS cohort and 100 in the PALGA cohort. In this cohort, SMR was increased for osteosarcoma (19.7, 95% CI 3.5-48.9), cervical cancer (4.93, 95%CI 1.7-8.2), thyroid cancer (3.71, 95% CI 1.1-7.8), prostate cancer (3.08, 95% CI 1.8-4.6), and melanoma (2.01, 95%CI 1.2-3.1). SMRs for pancreatic cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma could not be calculated due to low numbers. The small number of malignancies identified in our FD/MAS cohort precluded the calculation of SMRs for our cohort specifically. Our findings show that patients with FD/MAS appear to have an increased risk for osteosarcoma, cervical, thyroid, and prostate cancer and melanoma. However, these data should be interpreted with caution, as true incidence rates of the identified malignancies may be influenced by the inclusion of only patients with histologically confirmed FD/MAS. The etiology of this increased risk for malignancies still needs to be elucidated.

Abstract
Mc Cune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disorder defined by the triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, “café au lait” skin hyperpigmentation and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies, such as precocious puberty. MAS is caused by an activating post zygotic somatic mutation of GNAS gene, coding for the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsalpha). In endocrine tissues, this mutation results in overproduction of hormones and endocrine cell hyperfunction and proliferation. Whereas the association of hyperthyroidism and thyroid adenomas is well known in MAS, the relation with thyroid carcinoma has rarely been observed. We report the occurrence of a thyroid carcinoma in an 18-years old woman with MAS, revealed by subclinical hyperthyroidism detected during her systematic annual follow-up. Ultrasound and thyroid scintigraphy revealed the presence of a nodule in the right lobe. Pathology on hemithyroidectomy revealed an unexpected thyroid follicular carcinoma. Neoplastic thyroid cells harbored the GNAS R201C activating mutation. This observation suggests that MAS may predispose patients to thyroid carcinomas and supports the importance of thyroid assessment by physical examination, hormonal blood test and ultrasound, in the follow-up of patients with MAS. Because ultrasound diagnostic is challenging in MAS, needle puncture of palpable nodules should be advised.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome (FD/MAS), arising from gain-of-function mutations in Gαs, and cutaneous skeletal hypophosphatemia syndrome (CSHS), arising from gain-of-function mutations in the Ras/MAPK pathway, are strikingly complex, mosaic diseases with overlapping phenotypes. Both disorders are defined by mosaic skin and bone involvement, and both are complicated by increased FGF23 production. These similarities have frequently led to mis-diagnoses, primarily in patients with CSHS who are often assumed to have FD/MAS. The intriguing similarities in skeletal involvement in these genetically distinct disorders have led to novel insights into FGF23 physiology, making an understanding of FD/MAS and CSHS relevant to both clinicians and researchers interested in bone and endocrine disorders. This review will give an overview of FD/MAS and CSHS, focusing on the roles of mosaicism and FGF23 in the pathogenesis and clinical presentation of these disorders.

Abstract
Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) is a rare disorder of striking complexity. It arises from somatic, gain-of-function mutations in GNAS, leading to mosaic Gα s activation and inappropriate production of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The clinical phenotype is largely determined by the location and extent of affected tissues, and the pathophysiological effects of Gα s activation within these tissues. In bone, Gα s activation results in impaired differentiation of skeletal stem cells, leading to discrete skeletal lesions prone to fracture, deformity, and pain. Extraskeletal manifestations include a variable combination of hyperpigmented macules and hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies. Distinctive age-related changes in disease development has key effects on histologic, radiographic, and clinical features. FD/MAS thus presents along a uniquely broad clinical spectrum, and the resulting challenges in diagnosis and management can be difficult for clinicians. This review presents FD/MAS in the context of a mosaic disorder of Gα s activation, providing an intellectual framework within which to understand, evaluate, and treat this interesting disease. It includes a comprehensive summary of current understanding of FD/MAS pathogenesis, and a detailed discussion of clinical presentation and management. Critical areas of unmet need are highlighted, including discussion of key challenges and potential solutions to advance research and clinical care in FD/MAS.

Abstract
The most common endocrinopathy associated with McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is peripheral precocious puberty (PP) which occurs far more often in girls than in boys. We will discuss the latest advancements in the treatment of precocious puberty in MAS that have been achieved during the past 10 years. However, due to the rarity of the condition and the heterogeneity of the disease, research in this field is limited particularly in regards to treatment in boys. In girls, a period of watchful waiting is recommended prior to initiating therapy due to extreme variability in the clinical course. This article will review in detail current pharmacologic treatment in girls, which typically consists of either inhibiting estrogen production or blocking estrogen action at the level of the end-organ. The two treatments with the most evidence at this time are Tamoxifen (which is an estrogen receptor modulator) and Letrozole (which is a 3rd generation aromatase inhibitor). This article will also review the current treatment strategies in boys which typically include using an androgen receptor blocker and an aromatase inhibitor. Due to the rarity of the condition, large multicenter collaborative studies are needed to further investigate efficacy and safety with the goal of establishing the gold standard for treatment of PP in children with MAS.

Abstract
Background Autonomous ovarian activation with recurrent estrogen-producing cysts is a hallmark feature of the rare bone and endocrine disorder fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome. Precocious puberty in girls with McCune-Albright syndrome has been well-described, however long-term effects on gynecologic and reproductive function are unknown. Concerningly, case reports have described poor skeletal outcomes associated with pregnancy in women with fibrous dysplasia. Methods Thirty-nine women with fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome were evaluated as part of a natural history study. Clinical, radiographic, and biochemical data were reviewed. Women were contacted to obtain detailed menstrual and reproductive histories. Results Abnormal uterine bleeding affected 77% of women (30/39), and was associated with severe anemia requiring blood transfusion in 3 cases. Nine women underwent hysterectomy for management of bleeding, including 67% (6/9) at the unusually young age of less than age 35 years. Infertility affected 43% of women (9/21), including 2 women who developed primary ovarian insufficiency after undergoing surgical treatment of ovarian cysts. Of 25 spontaneous pregnancies in 14 women, 35% (8) were unplanned. Among the 14 pregnancies, pregnancy was associated with no change in bone pain in 7 subjects (53%), increased bone pain in 4 subjects (31%), and decreased bone pain in 2 subjects (15%). No additional skeletal complications were reported during pregnancies. Conclusions Women with fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome report a high prevalence of gynecologic morbidity and reduced fertility. There is no clear association between pregnancy and poor skeletal outcomes in this population.

Abstract
McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS; OMIM # 174800) is a rare, sporadic disease caused by a post-zygotic, activating mutation in the guanine-nucleotide binding protein α-subunit (GNAS1) gene. MAS is characterized by the clinical triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone, café-au-lait skin pigmentation and peripheral precocious puberty. However, clinical presentation is highly variable depending on mosaic tissue distribution of mutant-bearing cells. Precocious puberty is the most common endocrine manifestation of MAS and is often the presenting, and sometimes the only, clinical sign of MAS. Due to the very low prevalence of MAS, data on course of precocious puberty, effectiveness of treatments and gonadal function during post-pubertal period are lacking. Our knowledge on this issue derives essentially from case reports and small cohorts of patients. The aim of this review is to report all available literature data on clinical aspects, therapeutic management and outcomes of precocious puberty in children with MAS. A systematic research was carried out through MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Semantic Scholar, Cochrane Library.
