Objectives: Noonan Syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant multi-system disorder characterised by short stature (SS), distinctive facial features and cardiovascular abnormalities. Mutations in multiple genes regulating the RAS-MAPK pathway have been identified in NS including 5 recently described novel LZTR1 variants. We identified 2 novel LZTR1 variants in patients with features of growth hormone insensitivity and NS. The molecular function of LZTR1 ...
