Clinical and functional characterization of a novel RASopathy‐causingSHOC2mutation associated with prenatal‐onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Abstract excerpt

SHOC2 is a scaffold protein mediating RAS-promoted activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in response to extracellular stimuli. A recurrent activating mutation in SHOC2 (p.Ser2Gly) causes Mazzanti syndrome, a RASopathy characterized by features resembling Noonan syndrome and distinctive ectodermal abnormalities. A second mutation (p.Met173Ile) supposed to cause loss-of-function was more...
