BACKGROUND: Germline mutations in several members of RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway cause clinically similar genetic disorders, including Noonan syndrome (NS), Costello syndrome (CS) and cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFC). Each of these syndromes has a wide spectrum of molecular etiology. The aim of the present study was to conduct a comprehensive genetic analysis of RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway in these syndromes....
