Targeted Therapy for Complex Lymphatic Anomalies in Patients with Noonan Syndrome and Related Disorders

Abstract excerpt

Recent diagnostic advances reveal that lymphatic disease in Noonan syndrome (NS) and other NS-like RASopathies often stems from central conducting lymphatic anomalies (CCLAs). The RAS/MAPK-ERK pathway plays a central role in lymphangiogenesis. Targeting this pathway with MEK-inhibitor trametinib has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for managing CCLAs in patients with NS-like RASopathies. This case...
