POT1 Tumor Susceptibility Research: A Broader Spectrum of Related Malignancies and Recommendations for Additional Screening Plans Research Background POT1 (Protection of Telomeres Protein 1) is an important component of the Shelterin telomere-binding complex, responsible for regulating telomere length. Some pathogenic variants (PVs) of the POT1 gen...

Defining the Variant-Phenotype Correlation in Patients Affected by Noonan Syndrome with the RAF1:c.770C>T p.(Ser257Leu) Variant

RAF1 gene   Noonan Syndrome   Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy   Phenotype correlation   Neonatal   Early intervention   Mortality rate  

Phenotypic Correlation Study of RAF1:c.770C>T p.(Ser257Leu) Variant in Noonan Syndrome Patients Academic Background Noonan syndrome (NS) is one of the most common RASopathies, primarily caused by the upregulation of RAS protein and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. These disorders are characterized by facial dysmorphism, c...

ERF gene   Noonan syndrome   craniosynostosis   developmental delay   facial features  

Correlation between Erf Gene Loss-of-Function Variants and Noonan Syndrome-like Phenotype - With or Without Craniosynostosis Research Background Members of the ETS transcription factor family play a crucial role in RAS-MAPK signal transduction, regulating the expression of “early response” genes and other functionally related genes. Among them, ETS...
