Noonan syndrome (NS) belongs to RASopathies, a family of disorders caused by unregulated signaling through the RAS-MAPK pathway. Herein, we report on an individual with molecularly confirmed diagnosis of NS showing asymptomatic enlarged spinal nerve roots, which are distinctive features of neurofibromatosis type 1. To date, a total of 16 patients with neurogenic tumors resembling neurofibromas/schwannomas and a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of a non-NF1 RASopathy have been reported, adding this further feature shared among RASopathies.
努南综合征(Noonan syndrome,NS)属于 RAS 通路病(RASopathies),是一组由于 RAS-MAPK 通路信号调节异常引起的疾病。本文报告了一例分子确诊为 NS 的患者,其表现为无症状性增大的脊神经根,这是神经纤维瘤病 1 型(neurofibromatosis type 1,NF1)的特征性表现。迄今为止,已经有 16 例具有神经源性肿瘤特征(类似于神经纤维瘤/神经鞘瘤)且分子确诊为非 NF1 RAS 通路病的患者被报道,这进一步提示了 RAS 通路病的一个共同特征。
