Effects of germline mutations in the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway on adaptive behavior: Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome and Noonan syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC) and Noonan syndrome (NS) are two phenotypically overlapping genetic disorders whose underlying molecular etiologies affect a common signaling pathway. Mutations in the BRAF, MEK1, and MEK2 genes cause most cases of CFC and mutations in PTPN11, SOS1, KRAS, and RAF1 typically cause NS. Although both syndromes are associated with developmental delays of varying severity, the...
