Myhre syndrome (MS, MIM 139210) is a rare multisystemic disorder caused by recurrent pathogenic missense variants in SMAD4.

In contrast, adults with MS are underreported obscuring potential clinical variability.

We performed a systematic literature review by querying the MEDLINE and Embase databases identifying 143 relevant papers. We recorded data on the phenotype and genotype in 162 individuals with a molecularly confirmed ATP7A-related disorder in order to identify differentiating clinical criteria, evaluate genotype-phenotype correlations and propose management guidelines.
