New insights on Noonan syndrome’s clinical phenotype: a single center retrospective study

Abstract: Background Noonan syndrome (NS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder. Since its clinical phenotype is often mild and difficult to differentiate from other syndromes, its diagnosis can be challenging and its prevalence in the pediatric population is most certainly underestimated. The difficulty in identifying Noonan syndrome is also increased by the fact that genetic tests are currently not able to detect an underlying mutation in around 10% of the cases. … Show more

“…1 Around 50% of the instances are sporadic in nature, whereas a considerable proportion of the residual cases demonstrate autosomal dominant inheritance. 2 To date, over 14 genes have been identified as responsible for NS, with the most common being PTPN11 (accounting for about 50% of cases) and SOS1 (10-13%), while others are less frequently observed. 3 Short stature, congenital heart issues, facial dysmorphology, and developmental delays typify NS, along with male cryptorchidism, ophthalmologic defects, and chest deformities.…”
