Description
<p>Noonan syndrome (NS) is caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding components of the RAS/MAPK pathway and presents with a number of symptoms, including characteristic facial features, congenital heart diseases, and short stature. Advances in genetic analyses have contributed to the identification of pathogenic genes in NS as well as genotype-phenotype relationships; however, updated evidence for the detection rate of pathogenic genes with the inclusion of newly identified genes is lacking in Japan. Accordingly, we examined the genetic background of 116 individuals clinically diagnosed with NS and the frequency of short stature. We also investigated genotype-phenotype relationships in the context of body mass index (BMI). Genetic testing revealed the responsible variants in 100 individuals (86%), where PTPN11 variants were the most prevalent (43%) and followed by SOS1 (12%) and RIT1 (9%). The frequency of short stature was the lowest in subjects possessing RIT1 variants. No genotype-phenotype relationships in BMI were observed among the genotypes. In conclusion, this study provides evidence for the detection rate of pathogenic genes and genotype-phenotype relationships in Japanese patients with NS, which will be of clinical importance for accelerating our understanding of the genetic backgrounds of Japanese patients with NS.</p>
