: Mosaic RASopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the presence at birth or early onset of congenital anomalies, cutaneous and vascular anomalies, segmental overgrowth, and increased cancer risk. They are caused by somatic pathogenic variants of the genes belonging the RAt Sarcoma Mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS/MAPK) pathway causing its hyperactivation. Here, we review the clinical and molecular characteristics of this heterogeneous group of diseases, including the possibilities of molecular diagnosis and new therapeutic perspectives.

Abstract
: Mosaic RASopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by the presence at birth or early onset of congenital anomalies, cutaneous and vascular anomalies, segmental overgrowth, and increased cancer risk. They are caused by somatic pathogenic variants of the genes belonging the RAt Sarcoma Mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS/MAPK) pathway causing its hyperactivation. Here, we review the clinical and molecular characteristics of this heterogeneous group of diseases, including the possibilities of molecular diagnosis and new therapeutic perspectives.File in questo prodotto:
