SOS1: a new player in the Noonan-like/multiple giant cell lesion syndrome

Noonan-like/multiple giant cell lesion syndrome is a rare condition with phenotypic overlap with Noonan syndrome (NS) and cherubism. PTPN11 gene mutations were described in several individuals with this phenotype, and it is recently considered as a variant phenotype of NS. Gain-of-function mutations in the SOS1 gene were recently described as the second major cause of NS. Here, we report for the first time the involvement of SOS1 gene in a family with the Noonan-like/multiple giant cell lesion phenotype.
