The Molecular Pathogenesis of Noonan Syndrome-Associated RAF1 Mutations

Noonan syndrome (NS) is one of several autosomal dominant “RASopathies” caused by mutations in components of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK MAPK pathway. Germ line mutations in RAF1 (encoding the serine-threonine kinase for MEK1/2) account for ~3-5% of NS, and unlike other NS alleles, RAF1 mutations that confe...
