Abstract
The RASopathies are a specific group of genetic syndromes that occur as a result of germline mutations in genes encoding proteins of the Ras–mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS–MAPK) pathway (Fig 1). These developmental disorders include Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), the first RASopathy identified, followed by Noonan syndrome (NS), and a host of others including Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML), capillary malformation–arteriovenous malformation syndrome (CM-AVM), Costello syndrome (CS), cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFC) and Legius syndrome. The Ras-MAPK pathway is essential for signal transduction from the cell surface to the nucleus and plays a pivotal role in regulation of cellular
