The PTEN gene provides instructions for making a protein that helps manage cell growth and division. This gene plays a key role in controlling how cells grow, multiply, and stay healthy. Changes in the PTEN gene can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, which can result in certain types of cancer or other health conditions. Abnormalities in the PTEN gene are related to disorders like Cowden syndrome and some other genetic conditions that increase the risk of developing various cancers.
