Abstract excerpt
Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder caused by the hyperactivation of the RAS-MAPK molecular pathway. About 50% of NS cases are caused by mutations affecting the SHP2 protein, a multi-domain phosphatase with a fundamental role in the regulation of the RAS-MAPK pathway. Most NS-causing mutations influence the stability of the inactive form of SHP2. However, one NS-causing mutation, namely T42A, occurs in the...
