Abstract excerpt
The RAS-MAPK syndromes are a group of clinically and genetically related disorders caused by dysregulation of the RAS-MAPK pathway. A member of this group of disorders, Noonan syndrome (NS), is associated with several different genes within the RAS-MAPK pathway. To date, mutations in PTPN11, SOS1, KRAS, RAF1 and SHOC2 are known to cause NS and a small group of patients harbour mutations in BRAF, MEK1 or NRAS. The...
