Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
McCune-Albright syndrome (MCAS) is a sporadic disease classically includingpolyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café au lait spots, sexual precocity, and other hyperfunctional endocrinopathies. An activating missense mutation in the gene for the alpha subunit of G S, the G protein that stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate formation, has been reported to be present in these patients. The mutation is found in variable abundance in different affected endocrine and nonendocrine tissues, consistent with the mosaic distribution of abnormal cells generated by a somatic cell mutation early in embryogenesis. We describe three patients with MCAS who had profound endocrine and nonendocrine disease and who died in childhood. Two of the patients were severely ill neonates whose complex symptoms did not immediately suggest MCAS. A mutation of residue Arg 201 of G S α was found in affected tissues from all three children. A review of the literature and unpublished case histories emphasizes the existence of other patients with severe and unusual clinical manifestations. We conclude that the manifestations of MCAS are more extensive than is generally appreciated, and may include hepatobiliary disease, cardiac disease, other nonendocrine abnormalities, and sudden or premature death.
