Overview
Molecular studies have shown that Leopard syndrome is caused by different missense mutations in PTPN11, a gene encoding the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 located at chromosome 12q22-qter.[1] Mutations cause a loss of catalytic activity of the SHP2 protein (the gene product of the PTPN11 gene), which is a previously unrecognized behavior for this class of mutations.[2] This interferes with growth factor and related signalling.
Pathophysiology
In the two predominant mutations of Leopard syndrome, the mutations cause a loss of catalytic activity of the SHP2 protein(the gene product of the PTPN11 gene), which is a previously unrecognized behavior for this class of mutations.[3] This interferes with growth factor and related signalling. While further research confirms this mechanism,[4][5] additional research is needed to determine how this relates to all of the observed effects of Leopard syndrome.
