Abstract excerpt
MAP2K1 encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MEK1). Mutations in MAP2K1 lead to continuous activation of MEK/ERK signaling pathway, giving rise to cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFCS). However, the molecular mechanisms of abnormal activation of MEK/ERK signaling pathway and the role of autophagy, if any, in manifesting CFCS in MAP2K mutants remain unclear. Here, we report three Chinese children with CFCS...
