Whole-exome sequencing reveals the genetic causes and modifiers of moyamoya syndrome

Scientific Reports
Moyamoya vasculopathy secondary to various genetic disorders is classified as moyamoya syndrome (MMS). Recent studies indicate MMS occurs due to a combination of genetic modifiers and causative mutations for the primary genetic disorders.

RAS diseases in children

Haematologica, 2014
RAS genes encode a family of 21 kDa proteins that are an essential hub for a number of survival, proliferation, differentiation and senescence pathways. Signaling of the RAS-GTPases through the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway, the first identified mitogen-associated

Direct assignment of the human βb2 and βb3 crystallin genes to 22q11.2->q12: Markers for neurofibromatosis

, 1991
We have isolated a human probe specific for the βB3 crystallin gene (CRYB3) and hybridized it to Southern blots of human X rodent cell hybrids with known human chromosomal constitution. In this way we could directly assign CRYB3 to chromosome 22.

Epigenetic Mechanisms in Neurofibromatosis Types 1 and 2

Epigenomes
Neurocutaneous syndromes, known as phakomatoses, encompass a diverse group of congenital conditions affecting the nervous system and skin, with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) among the most clinically significant.

Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia in a Child with Underlying Mutations in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and FLT3 Genes: A Case Report

Indian Pediatrics Case Reports
Background: Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is known to be associated with certain genetic variants involved in the RAS pathway. We describe a child with JMML associated with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) variant.

Novel Association of Neurofibromatosis Type 1-Causing Mutations in Families With Neurofibromatosis-Noonan Syndrome

, 2014
Neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome (NFNS) is a rare condition with clinical features of both neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan syndrome (NS). All three syndromes belong to the RASopathies, which are caused by dysregulation of the RAS-MAPK pathway.
