Incidence and Molecular Pathogenesis of Solid Tumors in RASopathies
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
RASopathies are a group of syndromes, caused by variants of genes involved in the regulation of the Ras/MAP/ERK pathway. This intracellular transduction pathway profoundly affects embryogenic development, organogenesis, synaptic plasticity and neuronal growth. RASopathies are characterized by multi-organ involvement, growth delay, premature aging and haemato-oncological manifestations. Based on evidences provided by literature, cancer screening protocols are applied in some individuals affected by RASopathies, even though detailed information about prevalence and molecular pathogenesis of such tumors is still not clearly elucidate.
