Journal ArticleDOI

The RASopathies: Developmental syndromes of Ras/MAPK pathway dysregulation

TL;DR: There are numerous overlapping phenotypic features between the RASopathies, including characteristic facial features, cardiac defects, cutaneous abnormalities, neurocognitive delay and a predisposition to malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Germline mutations in genes within the MAPK pathway cause cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that heterogeneous de novo missense mutations in three genes within the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway cause CFC syndrome, and the involvement of the MAPK pathway in human development will provide a molecular diagnosis of CFC Syndrome.
Journal Article

Expression of the Coxsackie Adenovirus Receptor in Normal Prostate and in Primary and Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma: Potential Relevance to Gene Therapy

TL;DR: Evaluated CAR expression in normal prostate tissue and in prostate carcinoma of increasing Gleason grades in paraffin-embedded, archival tissues using a polyclonal antibody raised against human CAR found a statistically significant difference in CAR membrane expression with respect to Gleason score.
Journal ArticleDOI

HRAS mutations in Costello syndrome: detection of constitutional activating mutations in codon 12 and 13 and loss of wild-type allele in malignancy.

TL;DR: In this article, the HRAS coding region was sequenced for mutations in a large, well-characterized cohort of 36 Costello syndrome patients and the most consistent features included characteristic facies and skin, failure to thrive, developmental delay, musculoskeletal abnormalities, visual impairment, cardiac abnormalities, and generalized hyperpigmentation.
