Noonan and Dorothy Ehmke [American cardiologist/paediatrician] in 1963 defined the syndrome on the basis of clinical and cytogenetic findings in six boys and three girls with valvular pulmonary stenosis, short stature, hypertelorism and skeletal anomalies, and, in boys, retentio testis. In a later publication (1968) Noonan described a total of 19 patients of both sexes with unusual facies, congenital heart defect and other symptoms resembling those of Turners syndrome. However, the patients had normal chromosomes. While at Iowa, Noonan, together with Dorothy Ehmke, conducted a clinical investigation, which included 833 children with congenital heart disease who were carefully studied for the presence of additional extra-cardiac anomalies. Nine of these children had a similar characteristic facies and pulmonary stenosis. These patients were reported by Noonan to the Midwest Society of Pediatric Research held in Cincinnati in 1962.

Extractions: National Organization for Rare Disorders Noonan syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is typically evident at birth (congenital). The disorder may be characterized by a wide spectrum of symptoms and physical features that vary greatly in range and severity. In many affected individuals, associated abnormalities include a distinctive facial appearance; a broad or webbed neck; a low hairline in the back of the head; and short stature. Characteristic abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area may include widely set eyes (ocular hypertelorism); vertical skin folds that may cover the eyes' inner corners (epicanthal folds); drooping of the upper eyelids (ptosis); a small jaw (micrognathia); a low nasal bridge; and low-set, prominent, abnormally rotated ears (pinnae).

Noonan syndrome is a multifaceted condition characterized by a series of birth defects (congenital malformations) including short stature after birth (postnatal growth retardation ), webbing of the neck (pterygium colli), caved-in chestbone (pectus excavatum), narrowing of the artery from the heart to the lungs (pulmonic stenosis) and, in boys, testes that do not descend normally into the scrotum (cryptorchidism). Why is it named Noonan syndrome? The accepted name of this disorder is Noonan syndrome. It is named after Dr. Jacqueline A. Noonan who in 1968 reported 19 cases with the condition including 17 with narrowing of the artery to the lungs (pulmonary stenosis). Twelve of Dr. Noonan's patients were male and 7 were female. Noonan was clearly not the first person to discover the condition that bears her name today. In 1883 Kobilinsky reported a young man with webbing of the neck and several other features suggestive of Noonan syndrome and in 1928 Weissenberg provided a full and unmistakable description of the disease. Noonan, in collaboration with D. A. Ehmke, rediscovered the condition and noted the association with pulmonic stenosis.

Extractions: Toggle English Spanish Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: A genetic syndrome that causes abnormal development of multiple parts of the body. In particular there is webbing of the neck and different shapes to the chest that are reminiscent of Turner syndrome, hence the former name Turner-like syndrome. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Noonan syndrome can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It affects at least 1 in 2,500 children. The fact that some children do not have a parent with Noonan syndrome likely reflects sporadic inheritance, i.e., presumably the occurrence of a new mutation. The first specific gene that causes Noonan syndrome, called PTPN11, was discovered in 2001. It is expected that other genes will be discovered that cause Noonan syndrome. Frequently seen abnormalities include webbing of the neck, changes in the sternum (usually a sunken chest called pectus excavatum), facial abnormalities, and congenital heart disease (especially pulmonic stenosis ). Because these abnormalities resemble those of Turner syndrome (which only affects females), Noonan syndrome used to be called "male Turner syndrome", this term is not used because Noonan syndrome can affect females also.

The first table lists disorders where hypertrichosis is a primary symptom. The second table lists disorders where hypertrichosis can be one of several symptoms. Typically the other symptoms are of greater concern and health/life threatening. The clinical distinction between hypertrichosis and hirsutism is that hypertrichosis involves hair growth on any hair bearing area of skin. The excess hair growth may induced by a wide variety of environmental or genetic factors. Hirsutism is the growth of hair in a secondary sexual characteristic pattern. In women hirsutism involves unwanted excess hair limited to regions including the mustache, beard, chest and/or escutcheon areas. Hirsutism is typically induced by hormonal imbalance, especially androgen excess. This is not necessarily a complete list of disorders involving hypertrichosis.

Help Noonan syndrome Noonan syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by unusual facial characteristics, short stature, heart defects, bleeding problems, and skeletal abnormalities. Most males with this disorder have undescended testicles (cryptorchidism). Noonan syndrome has an incidence of 1 in 1,000 to 2,500 live births. Mutations in the gene cause Noonan syndrome. More than 50 percent of individuals with Noonan syndrome have changes in the PTPN11 gene. Researchers are investigating other genes that might be involved in this syndrome. The PTPN11 gene makes a protein that is important for the proper formation of tissues during development and also plays a role in cell division, cell specialization, and cell movement. Most mutations in the PTPN11 gene cause a change in this protein's sequence of amino acids (the building material of proteins). These changes are believed to cause the protein to be continuously active, rather than switching on and off. The constant activation causes the improper regulation of systems that control cell functions such as growth and division. This misregulation leads to the signs and symptoms of Noonan syndrome.

Extractions: Noonan Syndrome Synonynms Jacqueline Noonan, paediatrician and heart specialist in 1963, published a report on a small group of patients with typical facies, congenital heart defect, and some clinical features similar to Turner syndrome, but with normal chromosomes. Its after her that this syndrome has been named. Noonan syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. This means that the Noonan gene is on a non-sex (autosomal) chromosome and is transmitted from parent with a 50% probability to child. Although one dose of the Noonan gene is enough to cause the syndrome. A gene for Noonan syndrome (NS1) has been mapped to chromosome number 12. There are several different Noonan genes. The frequency of the Noonan syndrome is estimated to be between 1:1,000 and 1:2,500 in the general population Main features of this syndrome are: Pulmonary Stenosis Short stature after birth Webbing of Neck Caved in Chest Bones In boys, Testes that do not descend into the scrotum

The most characteristic cardiac anomaly is dysplasia of the pulmonary valve. Other lesions include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy involving either ventricle, pulmonary arterial hypoplasia, atrial septal defect ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus Echocardiography and cardiac angiography demonstrate the dysplastic, stenotic pulmonary valve. The valve is markedly thickened and shows little mobility during systole. These techniques may also display asymmetrical thickening of the ventricular septum with obstruction of the outflow region of either or both ventricles.

This disorder occurs in 1 in 2000 to 1 in 2500 live births, with about 800 new cases diagnosed each year. Girls with Turner Syndrome do not develop secondary sex characteristics such as breast tissue and underarm or pubic hair. Women and girls with Turner Syndrome have only one X chromosome . This is an example of monosomy See the box below to learn more about how the gender of an individual is determined. Where does the single X chromosome come from? In 75 to 80 percent of cases, the single X chromosome comes from the mother's egg because the father's sperm that fertilizes the egg is missing a sex chromosome.

Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Turner Syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder of females characterized by short stature and the lack of sexual development at puberty. Other physical features may include a webbed neck, heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and/or various other malformations. Normally, females have two X chromosomes. In some cases of Turner Syndrome, however, one X chromosome is missing from the cells (45,X); research studies suggest that approximately 40 percent of these individuals may have some Y chromosomal material in addition to the one X chromosome. In other affected females, both X chromosomes may be present, but one may have genetic defects. In still other cases, some cells may have the normal pair of X chromosomes while other cells do not (45,X/46,XX mosaicism). Although the exact cause of Turner Syndrome is not known, it is believed that the disorder may result from an error during the division (meiosis) of a parent's sex cells.
