Overview
Most cases of Noonan syndrome have an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and have been associated with either one of eight genes all involved in the RAS/MAP kinase pathway. In order of prevalence, the causative mutations involve the following genes: PTPN11, SOS1, RAF1, SHOC2, KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, and CBL.
Causes
Recurrence in siblings and apparent transmission from parent to child has long suggested a genetic defect with autosomal dominantinheritance and variable expression. Mutations in the Ras/MAPK signaling pathways are known to be responsible for ~70% of NS cases.[1]
A person with NS has up to a 50% chance of transmitting it to a child. The fact that an affected parent is not always identified for children with NS suggests several possibilities:
- Manifestations are variably expressed and could be so subtle as to go unrecognized (variable xpressivity)
- A high proportion of cases represent new, sporadic mutations
- Noonan syndrome is heterogeneous, comprising more than one similar condition of differing cause, some not inherited.
A number of inheritable mutations can be responsible for Noonan syndrome, most notably mutations of the PTPN11 gene on chromosome 12 seen in more than half of the patients. Almost all causative mutations seen in the PTPN11 gene are missense changes. The single most common mutation in PTPN11 accounting for 25% of cases of Noonan sydrome is an A-to-G transition at nucleotide 922. In order of prevalence, the causative mutations involve the following genes: PTPN11, SOS1, RAF1, SHOC2, KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, and CBL. Below is a table that details some common genetic loci involved. [2]
| Type | OMIM | Gene | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| NS1 | 163950 | PTPN11 | In most of the families with multiple affected members, NS maps to chromosome 12q24.1. In 2001, it was reported that approximately half of a group of patients with Noonan syndrome carried a mutation of the PTPN11 gene at that location, which encodes protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2.[3] |
| NS2 | 605275 | unknown (autosomal recessive)[4] | |
| NS3 | 609942 | KRAS | Additional mutations in KRAS [5] genes have been reported to cause Noonan syndrome in a smaller percentage of individuals with the syndrome. |
| NS4 | 610733 | SOS1 | It has recently been shown that activating mutations in SOS1 also give rise to NS.[6] Shp2 and SOS1 both have roles as positive regulators of the Ras/MAP kinase pathway suggesting that dysregulation of this pathway may play a major role in the genesis of this syndrome.[7] |
| NS5 | 611553 | RAF1 | Additional mutations in RAF1[8] genes have been reported to cause Noonan syndrome in a smaller percentage of individuals with the syndrome. |
