Ras-dependent RAF-MAPK hyperactivation by pathogenic RIT1 is a therapeutic target in Noonan syndrome-associated cardiac hypertrophy
2022-11-03
Abstract excerpt
RIT1 belongs to the family of Ras guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) that regulate many aspects of signal transduction and are drivers of cancer and congenital disorders. RIT1 gain-of-function mutations are found in lung cancer, leukemia, and in the germline of Noonan syndrome individuals with an increased prevalence of cardiac hypertrophy and other congenital heart defects. Pathogenic RIT1 proteins evade protea...
