Trametinib as a targeted treatment in cardiac and lymphatic presentations of Noonan syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: genes are the main molecular causes of Noonan syndrome (NS). Most are dominant gain-of-function variants that cause an overactivation of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation in many organs and systems. Albeit phenotypically heterogeneous, NS can be associated with severe cardiovascular and lymphatic anomalies, potentially lethal during infancy, neonatal and fetal...
