The RASopathies are a group of developmental syndromes caused by germline mutations in genes belonging to the Ras/MAPK pathway. Common features include intellectual disability, congenital heart defects, skin abnormalities, and craniofacial abnormalities.[1]

List of RASopathies

Known RASopathies include the following:[1][2]

Somatic mutations in the Ras/MAPK pathway can cause cancers and disorders such as RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disorder (RALD) or juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). These syndromes may share some features with RASopathies but are not considered true RASopathies if caused by somatic mutation.[3] Generally, RASopathies increase the risk of developing cancers.[1][4] Neurodevelopmental or psychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and anxiety occur at higher rates in individuals with RASopathies.[5][6]

Genetics

RASopathies are caused by germline mutations which result in overall activation of the Ras/MAPK pathway. Mutations in the following genes are associated with one or more types of RASopathy:[2][7]
