Abstract
Patients with Noonan syndrome typically have a target height <2 standard deviations compared to the general population, and half of the affected adults remain permanently below the 3rd centile for height, though their short stature might result from a multifactorial etiology, not-yet fully understood. The secretion of growth hormone (GH) following the classic GH stimulation tests is often normal, with baseline insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels at the lower normal limits, but patients with Noonan syndrome have also a possible moderate response to GH therapy, leading to a final increased height and substantial improvement in growth rate. Aim of this review was to evaluate both safety and efficacy of GH therapy in children and adolescents with Noonan syndrome, also evaluating as a secondary aim the possible correlations between the underlying genetic mutations and GH responses.

Wang Q, Cheng S, Fu Y, Yuan H. Case report: A de novo RASopathy-causing SHOC2 variant in a Chinese girl with noonan syndrome-like with loose anagen hair. Front Genet 2022; 13:1040124. [PMID: 36579329 PMCID: PMC9792188 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1040124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Pathogenic variants in the RASopathy-causing SHOC2 gene have been suggested to cause Noonan syndrome-like with loose anagen hair (NS/LAH). This condition is characterized by facial features resembling Noonan syndrome (NS), short stature, growth hormone deficiency (GHD), cognitive deficits, cardiac defects, and ectodermal abnormalities, including easily pluckable, sparse, thin, slow-growing hair, hyperpigmented skin and hypernasal voice. The mutation spectrum of SHOC2 is narrow, and only 8 pathogenic variants have been identified. Here, we report a 5-year-3-month-old Chinese female who displays characteristics typical of NS and has normal neurodevelopment. Trio-based whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed a de novo variant (c.1231A>G, p.Thr411Ala) in SHOC2. This variant has been recently reported in one subject in the literature who displayed facial features typical of NS and also presented with significant speech delays, moderate intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, bilateral sensorineural deafness and renal dysplasia. The differential phenotypes between these subjects deserve to be further investigated. Next, we reviewed the clinical pictures of NS/LAH and noticed that a recurrent SHOC2 Ser2Gly variant was more likely to result in delayed neurodevelopment and short stature, compared to other SHOC2 variants. And growth hormone (GH) therapy could improve height prognosis. It was noticed that the slight sleep problems and friendly and relatively mature personality observed in our patient may be a novel phenotype of NS/LAH. Our study reconfirms the pathogenic nature of the SHOC2 Thr411Ala variant. It also provides insights into the genotype-phenotype relationship in NS/LAH and a foundation for its genetic counseling, diagnosis and treatment.

Am J Med Genet A 2020; 182:1967-1971. [PMID: 32476286 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.61638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit beta (PPP1CB) is a disease-causing gene of Noonan-like syndrome, which acts via the RAS/MAPK pathway. To date, only 17 patients diagnosed with PPP1CB-related Noonan-like syndrome have been reported around the world, with few reports in Asia. Twelve reported patients are of short stature and only one patient was treated with growth hormone (GH); however, follow-up data is lacking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported patient with complete recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment follow-up data; the patient has a de novo c.146C>G (p.Pro49Arg) mutation in the PPP1CB gene. The hair pattern of the patient (coarse, curly, slow growing, and fragile) combined with Noonan dysmorphic features, developmental delay, and congenital heart disease, are highly consistent with the typical features observed in Noonan syndrome-like disorder with loose anagen hair 2 (NSLH2). rhGH treatment, administered for 3 years and 8 months, promoted the patient's linear growth. Our findings expand the data regarding the treatment of short stature in patients with NSLH2 caused by PPP1CB mutation. Clinical manifestation, growth and development process, and rhGH therapy effect data will aid in future revision of the relevant diagnosis and treatment guidelines.

Dermatological manifestations in Noonan syndrome: a prospective multicentric study of 129 patients positive for mutation. Br J Dermatol 2019; 180:1438-1448.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on dermatological manifestations of Noonan syndrome (NS) remain heterogeneous and are based on limited dermatological expertise. OBJECTIVES To describe the dermatological manifestations of NS, compare them with the literature findings, and test for dermatological phenotype-genotype correlations with or without the presence of PTPN11 mutations. METHODS We performed a large 4-year, prospective, multicentric, collaborative dermatological and genetic study. RESULTS Overall, 129 patients with NS were enrolled, including 65 patients with PTPN11-NS, 34 patients with PTPN11-NS with multiple lentigines (NSML), and 30 patients with NS who had a mutation other than PTPN11. Easy bruising was the most frequent dermatological finding in PTPN11-NS, present in 53·8% of patients. Multiple lentigines and café-au-lait macules (n ≥ 3) were present in 94% and 80% of cases of NSML linked to specific mutations of PTPN11, respectively. Atypical forms of NSML could be associated with NS with RAF1 or NRAS mutations. In univariate analysis, patients without a PTPN11 mutation showed (i) a significantly higher frequency of keratinization disorders (P = 0·001), including keratosis pilaris (P = 0·005), ulerythema ophryogenes (P = 0·0001) and palmar and/or plantar hyperkeratosis (P = 0·06, trend association), and (ii) a significantly higher frequency of scarce scalp hair (P = 0·035) and scarce or absent eyelashes (P = 0·06, trend association) than those with PTPN11 mutations. CONCLUSIONS The cutaneous phenotype of NS with a PTPN11 mutation is generally mild and nonspecific, whereas the absence of a PTPN11 mutation is associated with a high frequency of keratinization disorders and hair abnormalities.
