Abstract excerpt
Noonan syndrome (NS; OMIM 163950) is an autosomal dominant RASopathy with variable clinical expression and genetic heterogeneity. Clinical manifestations include characteristic facial features, short stature, and cardiac anomalies. Variants in protein-tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor-type 11 (PTPN11), encoding SHP-2, account for about half of NS patients, SOS1 in approximately 13%, RAF1 in 10%, and RIT1 each in...
