Article Abstract
Background: Several disease-causing genes have been implicated in Carney complex (CNC), including , (Phosphodiesterase 8B),and (Phosphodiesterase 11A). The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical features of CNC in a Chinese patient and identify potential pathogenic mutations.
Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral venous blood obtained from one Chinese CNC family from Shandong province. Subsequently, targeted region sequencing (TRS) and Sanger sequencing validation were performed to identify and validate likely pathogenic mutations.
Results: Genetic analyses revealed a novel variant that was predicted to lead to CNC. The patient's mother presented with the same genetic mutation.
Conclusion: This study identifies new genetic mutation in CNC（PDE11A: NM_016953: exon11: c1921A>G (p./p.Lys641Glu). CNC patients presenting with subclinical Cushing's syndrome should be treated

Background: Carney complex (CNC) is a rare autosomal dominant multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized by cutaneous and mucosal pigmented lesions, cardiac myxomas, and various endocrine and non-endocrine tumors.
Methods: We report a familial case of CNC presenting initially with embolic ischemic stroke. Comprehensive clinical evaluation, imaging studies, histopathological examination, and genetic analysis were performed on the proband and family members, with a literature review summarizing the clinical features of CNC.

Background: Carney complex (CNC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by endocrine and nonendocrine tumors, including cardiac myxomas, which are a leading cause of mortality due to embolic events, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 33-year-old man with CNC who experienced stroke-like symptoms due to recurrence of a left atrial myxoma 10 years after initial resection. He underwent successful surgical resection.

Introduction: Burn shock is mediated by a complex inflammatory response leading to endothelial cell dysfunction (EnD) and increased vascular permeability in large total body surface area (TBSA) injuries. Smaller TBSA burns do not induce systemic EnD. Previous studies in animal models have examined systemic markers of endothelial cell dysfunction following thermal injury and have aimed to characterize this dysfunction in various end organs.

Carney complex (CC) is characterized by myxomas, pigmented skin lesions, and endocrine hyperactivity, with a predisposition to tumors. Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is notable, manifesting with subclinical, progressive, or cyclical symptoms of Cushing's syndrome (CS) caused by endogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent hypercortisolism, and characterized by a paradoxical increase in urinary free cortisol after a corticosteroid suppression test. PPNAD should be suspected in patients with cyclic CS, and its association with CC should be considered.
