Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in PTPN11--the gene encoding the nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2--represent a major cause of Noonan syndrome (NS), a developmental disorder characterized by short stature and facial dysmorphism, as well as skeletal, hematologic, and congenital heart defects. Like many autosomal dominant disorders, a significant percentage of NS cases appear to arise from de novo mutations. Here,...
