Multiple other features are also well recognized including:
Collectively there have been more than 750 cases of Carney complex reported worldwide however the exact prevalence is unknown 6,7. One study of 353 patients found a female predilection (63%) 8.
Carney complex has autosomal dominant inheritance with almost 100% penetrance, related to inactivating mutations or large deletions of the PRKAR1A tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 17q22-24 5,6.

One way to remember the differentiation between the Carney triad and the Carney complex is that the Carney Complex has Cardiac findings (myxoma).
