The disorder is genetically heterogeneous and shows clinical overlap with other RASopathies. These syndromes are caused by mutations in a variety of genes leading to dysregulation of the RAS-MAPK pathway: <i>PTPN11, KRAS, SOS1, RAF1, CBL, SHOC2, NRAS, BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, HRAS, NF1 and SPRED1.</i> In this study, we conduct a genotype-phenotype analysis of 33 patients with a clinical diagnosis of NS without a <i>PTPN11</i> mutation. Mutation analysis of the genes involved in RASopathies was performed, except for <i>NF1 and SPRED1.</i> In 14 (42%) NS patients, a mutation was found, 7 (21%) had a mutation in <i>SOS1</i>, 3 (9%) in <i>RAF1</i> and 1 (3%) in <i>KRAS</i>, <i>MAP2K2</i>, <i>BRAF</i> and <i>SHOC2</i> each. The phenotype of these mutation-positive cases corresponded to that described in the literature. In the cases with a <i>BRAF</i> and <i>MAP2K2</i> mutation, the diagnosis cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome was made. The patient with the <i>SHOC2</i> mutation had features compatible with ‘Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair'. Three major clinical features of NS - a typical face, short stature and a pulmonary valve stenosis - were less frequently present in the group without a mutation. Missense mutations in genes encoding proteins of the RAS-MAPK pathway cause NS. The 3 major clinical features of NS were less frequently present in the mutation-negative patients, which stresses the importance of the syndrome-specific symptoms of the face, heart and short stature in NS. However, all mutation-negative cases met the NS criteria, indicating that the involvement of novel genes is to be expected. 2013-05-08 00:00:00 Facial characteristics Congenital heart defects Noonan syndrome RAS-MAPK pathway RASopathies
