Abstract

Diagnostic and therapeutic applications for Noonan Syndrome are described. The diagnostic and therapeutic applications are based on certain mutations in a RAS-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor gene SOS1 or its expression product. The diagnostic and therapeutic applications are also based on certain mutations in a serine/threonine protein kinase gene RAFl or its expression product thereof. Also described are nucleotide sequences, amino acid sequences, probes, and primers related to RAF1 or SOS1, and variants thereof, as well as host cells expressing such variants.

         69 . A method for diagnosing Noonan syndrome in a human subject suspected of having Noonan syndrome, comprising detecting a mutation in a serine/threonine protein kinase (RAF1) nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:1 from the subject, wherein the mutation results in an amino acid substitution in a conserved region 2 (CR2) domain, conserved region 3 (CR3) domain, or at the carboxy-terminus of a RAF1 polypeptide encoded by the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule.

         79 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 polypeptide is a P to L substitution at position 261 of SEQ ID NO:2. 
     
     
         80 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is in exon 7. 
     
     
         81 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is a G to C substitution at position 1161 of SEQ ID NO:1. 
     
     
         82 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is a G to T substitution at position 1161 of SEQ ID NO: 1. 
     
     
         83 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is a C to T substitution at position 1163 of SEQ ID NO: 1. 
     
     
         84 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is a C to T substitution at position 1169 of SEQ ID NO:1. 
     
     
         85 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is a C to G substitution at position 1172 of SEQ ID NO:1. 
     
     
         86 . The method of  claim 73  wherein the mutation in the RAF1 nucleic acid molecule is a C to T substitution at position 1174 of SEQ ID NO:1.
