Evolución: Se efectúa cateterismo cardíaco con evidencia estenosis valvular pulmonar grave, reacción infundibular, hipertrofia del ventrículo derecho, apertura valvular en domo y conducto arterioso persistente filiforme "tipo E", estos hallazgos justificaban el desarrollo de hipertrofia cardíaca. Se realizó una valvuloplastia pulmonar con balón que mejoró las presiones cardíacas. Conclusiones: Las alteraciones cardíacas presentes en un lactante con síndrome de Noonan fueron: Hipertrofia biventricular, hipertensión pulmonar, estenosis valvular pulmonar, conducto arterioso persistente.


Introduction: Noonan syndrome is characterized by growth disorders, psychomotor and mental retardation, facial dysmorphia, musculoskeletal disorders, and cardiac disorders in up to 80% of patients, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 30%, pulmonary valve stenosis in 50%, septal defects, pulmonary branch stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, and aortic coarctations. Clinical case: 8-month-old infant with hypertelorism, palpebral ptosis, low-set ears, short neck, and scoliosis. It presents with cyanosis and dyspnea associated with muscle hypotonia. Weight: Z score: -3, height: Z score: -3, on cardiac auscultation: mid-systolic murmur grade 4/6 in the second left intercostal space, parasternal line. The echocardiogram shows moderate valvular pulmonary stenosis (52 mmHg systolic gradient) and dilatation of the pulmonary arterial trunk. Evolution: Cardiac catheterization was performed with evidence of severe pulmonary valve stenosis, infundibular reaction, right ventricular hypertrophy, dome valve opening, and "type E" filiform patent ductus arteriosus. These findings justified the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty was performed, which improved cardiac pressure. Conclusions: The cardiac alterations present in an infant with Noonan syndrome were biventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary valve stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus.

Introduction: Noonan syndrome is a dominant autosomal inherited ge-netic disorder with variable phenotypic expression. It is found within diseases known as rasopathies and is pro-duced by mutations in RAS genes. Patients are character-ized by facial dysmorphism, short stature, congenital heart disease, musculoskeletal disorders, and, in some cases, intellectual disability. Clinical case: This report describes the case of a one-month-old male patient who comes to the outpatient clinic, presenting with facial dysmorphism and pulmonary steno-sis, for which a multidisciplinary follow-up is carried out due to suspicion of Noonan syndrome. From the fourth month, the patient developed lymphedema in the deltoid area. Evolution: At 7 months of age, exome sequencing was per-formed, finding a pathogenic vari-ant in the SOS1 gene and confirming the diagnosis of this syndrome. Conclusion: This case documents the presence of Noonan syndrome with a mutation of the SOS1 gene with typical facial dysmorphology, pulmonary valve stenosis, cryptor-chidism and lymphatic dysplasia with deltoid.

RÉSUMÉ

The Ras family of small Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins (G proteins) represents one of the main components of intracellular signal transduction required for normal cardiac growth, but is also critically involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. The present review provides an update on the role of the H-, K- and N-Ras genes and their related pathways in cardiac diseases. We focus on cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, where Ras has been studied the most. We also review other cardiac diseases, like genetic disorders related to Ras. The scope of the review extends from fundamental concepts to therapeutic applications. Although the three Ras genes have a nearly identical primary structure, there are important functional differences between them: H-Ras mainly regulates cardiomyocyte size, whereas K-Ras regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation. N-Ras is the least studied in cardiac cells and is less associated to cardiac defects. Clinically, oncogenic H-Ras causes Costello syndrome and facio-cutaneous-skeletal syndromes with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. On the other hand, oncogenic K-Ras and alterations of other genes of the Ras-Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway, like Raf, cause Noonan syndrome and cardio-facio-cutaneous syndromes characterized by cardiac hypertrophy and septal defects. We further review the modulation by Ras of key signaling pathways in the cardiomyocyte, including: (i) the classical Ras-Raf-MAPK pathway, which leads to a more physiological form of cardiac hypertrophy; as well as other pathways associated with pathological cardiac hypertrophy, like (ii) The SAPK (stress activated protein kinase) pathways p38 and JNK; and (iii) The alternative pathway Raf-Calcineurin-Nuclear Factor of Activated T cells (NFAT). Genetic alterations of Ras isoforms or of genes in the Ras-MAPK pathway result in Ras-opathies, conditions frequently associated with cardiac hypertrophy or septal defects among other cardiac diseases. Several studies underline the potential role of H- and K-Ras as a hinge between physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy, and as potential therapeutic targets in cardiac hypertrophy and failure. Highlights - The Ras (Rat Sarcoma) gene family is a group of small G proteins - Ras is regulated by growth factors and neurohormones affecting cardiomyocyte growth and hypertrophy - Ras directly affects cardiomyocyte physiological and pathological hypertrophy - Genetic alterations of Ras and its pathways result in various cardiac phenotypes? - Ras and its pathway are differentially regulated in acquired heart disease - Ras modulation is a promising therapeutic target in various cardiac conditions.

RÉSUMÉ

Introducción: El avance en las técnicas bioinformáticas ha permitido realizar acercamientos y mejoras en los diagnósticos clínicos, correlacionando genotipo ­ fenotipo y permitiendo el acercamiento a una terapia personalizada. Objetivo: Realizar mediante técnicas bioinformáticas, la caracterización molecular y de expresión génica de una paciente con manifestaciones clínicas (dismorfias, retraso en el desarrollo) de una enfermedad compleja (poligénica). Materiales y métodos: Se realizó la secuenciación de exoma completo a partir de una muestra de sangre periférica. Se analizaron los datos obtenidos mediante análisis in-sílico, utilizando programas como SIFT, Mutation Tester, UMD y Provean, para determinar la significancia clínica de variantes encontradas; además se usó programa GeneMania para determinar las interacciones génicas. Resultados:Se encontraron 3 variantes en los genes SEMA4A, PTPN11 y RAB40A, asociados a Retinitis pigmentosa 35, Síndrome de Noonan y Sindrome de retraso mental Martin-Probs, respectivamente; encontrando según los softwares predictores, en el primer caso un significado clínico aparentemente benigno, y en los dos últimos genes un significado clínico patogénico. El análisis de redes génicas reveló alteraciones en funciones biológicas como la señalización mediada por fosfatidilinositol, respuesta al factor del crecimiento fibroblástico, vía de señalización de neutrofina y la morfogénesis de vasos sanguíneo que permitieron explicar gran parte de la sintomatología observada. Conclusión: El análisis personalizado de las patologías complejas mediante el uso de la clínica, herramientas genómicas y bioinformaticas han permitido un avance significativo en las técnicas para el procesamiento y análisis de datos, beneficiando los estudios científicos que permiten el acercamiento a un correcto diagnóstico y adecuada consejería genética.


Introduction: Advances in bioinformatics techniques have allowed approaches and improvements in clinical diagnoses, correlating genotype - phenotype and allowing the approach to personalized therapy. Objective: In order to perform the molecular characterization and gene expression in a patient with complex clinical manifestations through bioinformatics techniques, complete exome sequencing was performed by a peripheral blood sample to a woman with facial dysmorphisms and developmental disorders. Material and methods: We analyzed the data obtained by in-silico analysis, using programs such as SIFT, Mutation Tester, UMD and Provean, to determine the clinical significance of the found variants and GeneMania program was used to determine gene interactions. Results: 3 variants were found in the genes SEMA4A, PTPN11 and RAB40A, associated with Retinitis pigmentosa 35, Noonan Syndrome and Mental Retardation Syndrome Martin-Probs, respectively; according to the predictive softwares, in the first case an apparently benign clinical meaning, and in the last two genes a clinical pathogenic meaning. The analysis of gene networks revealed alterations in biological functions such as signaling mediated by phosphatidylinositol, response to the fibroblastic growth factor, neutrophin signaling pathway and blood vessel morphogenesis that allowed us to explain a large part of the observed symptomatology. Conclusion: The personalized analysis of complex pathologies through the use of clinical, genomic and bioinformatic tools has allowed a significant advance in techniques for processing and analyzing data, benefiting scientific studies that allow the approach to a correct diagnosis and adequate genetic counseling.

Introduction. RASopathies are a set of syndromes with phenotypic overlapping features caused by gene mutations involved in the RAS/MAPK pathway. They are autosomal dominantly inherited and share common clinical characteristics, including short stature, craniofacial dysmorphisms, congenital heart disease, ectodermal manifestations, and a higher risk for cancer. A molecular diagnosis is a key factor. Objective. To identify PTPN11, SOS1, RAF1, BRAF, and HRAS mutations and compare the main clinical characteristics of patients with molecular confirmation. Population and methods. Children with a clinical diagnosis of RASopathy assessed between August 2013 and February 2017. Results. Mutations were identified in 71 % (87/122) of patients. The molecular test confirmed diagnosis in 73 % of patients with Noonan syndrome. The most prevalent mutation was c.922A>G (p.Asn308Asp) in the PTPN11 gene. A previously undescribed variant in RAF1 was detected: c.1467G>C (p.Leu489Phe). Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome was confirmed in 67 % of cases with BRAF mutations. Costello syndrome and Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines were confirmed in all cases. Conclusion. The confirmation of clinical diagnosis allowed for a more accurate differential diagnosis.

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hearing loss is a common complication associated with Noonan syndrome (NS), and the level of hearing loss for NS patients with sensorineural loss ranged from normal to severe. Additional insights into the outcome of cochlear implantation (CI)in children with NS with or without comorbidities are needed. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: In this study, five patients with NS, four with a mutation in PTPN11 and one who tested negative in mutation screening, diagnosed with the clinical scoring systemand underwent CI at ages ranging from 16 to 50 months were retrospectively reviewed. Patientswere evaluated for auditory perception (Categories of Auditory Performance), speech production (Korean Version of the Ling's Stage), and language ability (Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test). RESULTS: In five of the children with NS, CI was performed without any complications. Threepatients who received CI before 30 months of age showed outstanding outcomes. One patientwho received CI at 50 months showed limited benefit. One patient who was diagnosed with developmental delay and cochlear nerve hypoplasia underwent CI at 28 months with poor outcome. DISCUSSION: Our report suggests that although the benefit may be influenced by comorbidities associated with NS or delay in hearing rehabilitation, profound hearing loss in patientswith NS may be restored to normal levels in terms of auditory/speech perception and vocabulary/language development. The variable hearing outcomes also underscore the need for earlyscreening and detection of profound hearing loss, and regular follow-up for hearing evaluationin patients with NS.

RÉSUMÉ

PURPOSE: To analyze the growth response to growth hormone (GH) therapy in prepubertal patients with Noonan syndrome (NS) harboring different genetic mutations. METHODS: Twenty-three patients with prepubertal NS treated at Pusan National University Children’s Hospital between March 2009 and July 2017 were enrolled. According to the disease-causing genes identified, the patients with NS were divided into 4 groups. Three groups were positive for mutations of the PTPN11, RAF1, and SOS1 genes. The five genes undetected (FGU) group was negative for PTPN11, RAF1, SOS1, KRAS, and BRAF gene mutations. The influence of genotype was retrospectively analyzed by comparing the growth parameters after GH therapy. RESULTS: The mean chronological age at the start of GH treatment was 5.85±2.67 years. At the beginning of the GH treatment, the height standard deviation score (SDS), growth velocity (GV), and lower levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF)-1 levels were not statistically different among the groups. All the 23 NS patients had significantly increased height SDS and serum IGF-1 level during the 3 years of treatment. GV was highest during the first year of treatment. During the 3 years of GH therapy, the PTPN11, RAF1, and SOS1 groups showed less improvement in height SDS, IGF-1 SDS, and GV, and less increase in bone age-to-chronological age ratio than the FGU group. CONCLUSION: The 3-year GH therapy in the 23 prepubertal patients with NS was effective in improving height SDS, GV, and serum IGF-1 levels. The FGU group showed a better response to recombinant human GH therapy than the PTPN11, RAF1, and SOS1 groups.

RÉSUMÉ

Noonan syndrome (NS) and NS-related disorders (cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome, Costello syndrome, NS with multiple lentigines, or LEOPARD [lentigines, ECG conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormal genitalia, retardation of growth and sensory neural deafness] syndrome) are collectively named as RASopathies. Clinical presentations are similar, featured with typical facial features, short stature, intellectual disability, ectodermal abnormalities, congenital heart diseases, chest & skeletal deformity and delayed puberty. During past decades, molecular etiologies of RASopathies have been growingly discovered. The functional perturbations of the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway are resulted from the mutation of more than 20 genes (PTPN11, SOS1, RAF1, SHOC2, BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, MEK1, MEK2, CBL, SOS2, RIT, RRAS, RASA2, SPRY1, LZTR1, MAP3K8, MYST4, A2ML1, RRAS2). The PTPN11 (40–50%), SOS1 (10–20%), RAF1 (3–17%), and RIT1 (5–9%) mutations are common in NS patients. In this review, the constellation of overlapping clinical features of RASopathies will be described based on genotype as well as their differential diagnostic points and management.

RÉSUMÉ

As RASopatias são um grupo de doenças cujos pacientes apresentam alterações constitucionais em genes que participam de uma mesma via de sinalização celular denominada Ras/MAPK, que desempenha um papel importante na proliferação, diferenciação, migração celular e apoptose, além de estar associada a processos carcinogênicos. Apesar dos avanços em métodos diagnósticos, cerca de 20 a 25% dos casos permanecem inconclusivos, o que impulsiona pesquisas que buscam alterações em outros níveis de regulação da via, como RNAs não codificantes e proteínas. O primeiro capítulo deste estudo, avalia um grupo de 6 pacientes diagnosticados clinicamente com RASopatia e com exomas sequenciados. Foram obtidos dados sobre mutações em seus miRNAs. O segundo capítulo relata o caso de um paciente com suspeita clínica de síndrome de Costello, mas sem mutações detectadas. Foram avaliados, in silico, dados sobre miRNAs reguladores do gene HRAS, bem como os diferentes tecidos nos quais o HRAS é expresso. Para o capítulo 3 foi realizado um estudo comparativo entre gêmeas com diagnóstico clínico de síndrome de Noonan, mas com fenótipo discordante. Foi realizado um array por RT-qPCR para diferentes RNAs reguladores e um estudo comparativo de proteoma com análise de vias biológicas, processos biológicos e genes alvo da regulação de fatores de transcrição putativos. No estudo de miRNAs foram encontradas mutações em heterozigose, que são de difícil avaliação em ensaios de expressão. No estudo de caso do paciente S4 (síndrome de Costello), não foram encontradas mutações nos miR-181d-5p, let-7a-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-181a-5p, miR-139-5p, miR-663a e let-7b-5p, descritos como reguladores do HRAS. Também não foram encontrados tecidos viáveis para coleta e análise da expressão do HRAS. Na expressão de RNAs reguladores nas gêmeas (S16 e S17) foram encontrados níveis de expressão aumentados em S17 para Lnc-C21orf33-1, ERBS3/SBNO2e, miR-200be, CTBP1-AS e Lnc_DC. Na análise do proteoma, foram encontradas diferenças de expressão em vias de integrinas, proteoglicanos e trombinas, além de diferenças em processos de transdução de sinal, crescimento e manutenção celular e metabolismo. Os genes com sítio de ligação para os fatores de transcrição como RREB1, ETS1, EGR1 e TBX5 também possuíam expressão diferente entre as gêmeas. Os resultados aqui apresentados apontam novos caminhos para estudos moleculares das RASopatias que possam preencher as lacunas diagnósticas ainda pendentes.


RASopathies are a group of diseases whose patients present constitutional changes in genes that participate in the same cellular signaling pathway called the Ras/MAPK, which plays an important role in proliferation, differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis, in addition to being associated with carcinogenic processes. Despite advances in diagnostic methods, about 20 to 25% of cases remain inconclusive, which drives research that seeks changes in other levels of pathway regulation, such as non-coding RNAs and proteins. The first chapter of this study evaluates a group of 6 patients clinically diagnosed with RASopathy and sequenced exomes. Data were obtained on mutations in their miRNAs. The second chapter reports the case of a patient with clinical suspicion of Costello syndrome, but without mutations detected. Data on the miRNAs regulating the HRAS gene, as well as the different tissues in which HRAS is expressed, were evaluated in silico. For chapter 3 a comparative study was performed between twins with clinical diagnosis of Noonan syndrome, but with a discordant phenotype. An array was performed by RT-qPCR for different regulatory RNAs and a comparative proteome study with analysis of biological pathways, biological processes and genes targeting the regulation of putative transcription factors. In the study of miRNAs, mutations were found in heterozygosis, which are difficult to evaluate in expression assays. In the case study of S4 patient (Costello syndrome), no mutations were found in miR-181d-5p, let-7a-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-181a-5p, miR-139-5p, miR-663a and let-7b -5p, described as HRAS regulators. No available tissues were also found for collection and analysis of HRAS expression. In expression of regulatory RNAs in the S16 and S17 twins, increased levels of S17 expression were found for Lnc-C21orf33-1, ERBS3 / SBNO2e, miR-200b, CTBP1-AS and Lnc_DC. In the proteome analysis, expression differences were found in integrins, proteoglycans and thrombin pathways, as well as differences in signal transduction processes, cell growth and maintenance, and metabolism. Genes with binding site for transcription factors such as RREB1, ETS1, EGR1 and TBX5 also had different expression between the twins. The results presented here point out new ways for molecular studies of RASopathies that may close the remaining diagnostic gaps.

RÉSUMÉ

Noonan syndrome is characterized by distinctive facial features, short stature, and congenital heart disease. It is a congenital genetic disorder with a prevalence of between 1/1,000 and 1/2,500 in both genders.An 11-year-old boy with Noonan syndrome visited the hospital with an ectopically positioned tooth. A pulmonary stenosis was diagnosed and his growth and development were delayed. In many cases of this diseases there is obvious hemostasis, which he was not experiencing. His facial appearance showed characteristic features of Noonan syndrome. The patient showed a dental class II relationship, labioversion of the upper anterior teeth, and a shallow overbite. Radiographic examination revealed that the upper right canine was ectopically positioned, which led to root resorption of the upper right lateral incisor. A lateral cephalometric radiograph revealed a craniofacial pattern that was within normal limits. Surgical opening and button attachment on the impacted upper right canine were performed and traction was applied on the impacted tooth using a removable appliance.This patient was mildly affected by Noonan syndrome and showed some dental problems. However, few studies have reported the oral characteristics of Noonan syndrome despite its high incidence. Thus, this case report describes the oral features and management of Noonan syndrome.

RÉSUMÉ

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of verifying genetic abnormalities using array comparative genomic hybridization (a-CGH) immediately after diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS: Among neonates under the age of 28 days who underwent echocardiography from January 1, 2014 to April 30, 2016, neonates whose chromosomal and genomic abnormalities were tested using a-CGH in cases of an abnormal finding on echocardiography were enrolled. RESULTS: Of the 166 patients diagnosed with CHD, 81 underwent a-CGH and 11 patients (11/81, 13.5%) had abnormal findings on a-CGH. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome was the most common (4/11, 36.4%). On the first a-CGH, 4 patients were negative (4/81, 5%). Three of them were finally diagnosed with Williams syndrome using fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), 1 patient was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome through exome sequencing. All of them exhibited diffuse pulmonary artery branch hypoplasia, as well as increased velocity of blood flow, on repeated echocardiography. Five patients started rehabilitation therapy at mean 6 months old age in outpatient clinics and epilepsy was diagnosed in 2 patients. Parents of 2 patients (22q11.2 deletion syndrome and Patau syndrome) refused treatment due to the anticipated prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Screening tests for genetic abnormalities using a-CGH in neonates with CHD has the advantage of early diagnosis of genetic abnormality during the neonatal period in which there is no obvious symptom of genetic abnormality. However, there are disadvantages that some genetic abnormalities cannot be identified on a-CGH.

RÉSUMÉ

Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder that involves multiple organ systems, with short stature as the most common presentation (>70%). Possible mechanisms of short stature in NS include growth hormone (GH) deficiency, neurosecretory dysfunction, and GH resistance. Accordingly, GH therapy has been carried out for NS patients over the last three decades, and multiple studies have reported acceleration of growth velocity (GV) and increase of height standard deviation score (SDS) in both prepubertal and pubertal NS patients upon GH therapy. One year of GH therapy resulted in almost doubling of GV compared with baseline; afterwards, the increase in GV gradually decreased in the following years, showing that the effect of GH therapy wanes over time. After four years of GH therapy, ~70% of NS patients reached normal height considering their age and sex. Early initiation, long duration of GH therapy, and higher height SDS at the onset of puberty were associated with improved final height, whereas gender, dosage of GH, and the clinical severity did not show significant association with final height. Studies have reported no significant adverse events of GH therapy regarding progression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alteration of metabolism, and tumor development. Therefore, GH therapy is effective for improving height and GV of NS patients; nevertheless, concerns on possible malignancy remains, which necessitates continuous monitoring of NS patients receiving GH therapy.

RÉSUMÉ

Ateneo de los residentes de Psicopedagogía del Hospital de Niños Dr Ricardo Gutiérrez, de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, donde a partir de la práctica psicopedagógica con niños y adolescentes con patología orgánica se desarrollan cuatro ejes temáticos para describir algunas de las patologías o condiciones con las cuales se han ido encontrando en su labor cotidiana. Se relatan algunas viñetas clínicas que surgen de la experiencia en el Consultorio Interdisciplinario de Espina Bífida, con el fin de reflejar la intervención y los aportes de la psicopedagogía en ese campo. Se presenta el caso de una paciente que presentó un cuadro de Encefalitis Autoinmune por anticuerpos contra el receptor NMDAR, patología que despertó un gran interés al interior del equipo y que debido a su creciente recurrencia en los últimos tiempos, convoca a ampliar el conocimiento en ese campo, que aún se encuentra poco investigado. A continuación, se caracterizan dos patologías genéticas a través de casos de Agustín y Matías, considerando la importante incidencia de diversas condiciones genéticas en la población con la cual trabajamos. A partir de los casos clínicos seleccionados, no solo perseguimos el fin de describir y caracterizar algunos cuadros específicos, sino que a través de los mismos buscaremos plasmar los pilares fundamentales sobre los cuales asentamos nuestra mirada e intervención frente a pacientes que exigen un abordaje complejo, integral e interdisciplinario.

RÉSUMÉ

Many congenital diseases are associated with growth failure, and patients with these diseases have specific growth patterns. As the growth patterns of affected individuals differ from those of normal populations, it is challenging to detect additional conditions that can influence growth using standard growth charts. Disease-specific growth charts are thus very useful tools and can be helpful for understanding the growth pattern and pathogenesis of congenital diseases. In addition, disease-specific growth charts allow doctors to detect deviations from the usual growth patterns for early diagnosis of an additional condition and can be used to evaluate the effects of growth-promoting treatment for patients. When developing these charts, factors that can affect the reliability of the charts should be considered. These factors include the definition of the disease with growth failure, selection bias in the measurements used to develop the charts, secular trends of the subjects, the numbers of subjects of varying ages and ethnicities, and the statistical method used to develop the charts. In this review, we summarize the development of disease-specific growth charts for Japanese individuals with Turner syndrome and Noonan syndrome and evaluate the efforts to collect unbiased measurements of subjects with these diseases. These charts were the only available disease-specific growth charts of Turner syndrome and Noonan syndrome for Asian populations and were developed using a Japanese population. Therefore, when these charts are adopted for Asian populations other than Japanese, different growth patterns should be considered.

RÉSUMÉ

Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder caused by autosomal dominant inheritance and is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, short stature, chest deformity, and congenital heart disease. In individuals with NS, germline mutations have been identified in several genes involved in the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway. Because of its clinical and genetic heterogeneity, the conventional diagnostic protocol with Sanger sequencing requires a multistep approach. Therefore, molecular genetic diagnosis using targeted exome sequencing (TES) is considered a less expensive and faster method, particularly for patients who do not fulfill the clinical diagnostic criteria of NS. In this case, the patient showed short stature, dysmorphic facial features suggestive of NS, feeding intolerance, cryptorchidism, and intellectual disability in early childhood. At the age of 16, the patient still showed extreme short stature with delayed puberty and characteristic facial features suggestive of NS. Although the patient had no cardiac problems or chest wall deformities, which are commonly present in NS and are major concerns for patients and clinicians, the patient showed several other characteristic clinical features of NS. Considering the possibility of a genetic disorder, including NS, a molecular genetic study with TES was performed. With TES analysis, we detected a pathogenic variant of c.458A > T in KRAS in this patient with atypical NS phenotype and provided appropriate clinical management and genetic counseling. The application of TES enables accurate molecular diagnosis of patients with nonspecific or atypical features in genetic diseases with several responsible genes, such as NS.
