Miliarias are a group of eccrine disorders characterized by sweat retention due to the occlusion of eccrine ducts. Miliaria profunda is the rarest form of miliaria and occurs when eccrine ducts are obstructed at the dermal-epidermal junction. A granulomatous variant of centrifugal miliaria profunda classic findings of granulomatous infiltrate on histology and centrifugal expansion of deep nodules or plaques.

Purpose: Genomic ascertainment of electronic health record-linked exome data in two large biobanks was used to quantify germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant prevalence, cancer prevalence, and survival in adults with non- RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase genes (RASopathies).

Patients And Methods: Germline RASopathy variants were examined from adult participants in UK Biobank (UKBB; n=469,802), Geisinger MyCode (n=167,050) and Mount Sinai Bio (n=30,470). Variants were classified as per American College of Medical Genetics/Association for Molecular Pathology criteria and reviewed by a RASopathy variant expert.

Unlabelled: The RASopathies are a group of disorders resulting from a germline variant in the genes encoding the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. These disorders include Noonan syndrome (NS), cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC), Costello syndrome (CS), Legius syndrome (LS), and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and have overlapping clinical features due to RAS/MAPK dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical and molecular features of patients exhibiting phenotypic manifestations consistent with RASopathies.

Background: Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC) is a rare disorder with multiple congenital anomalies including macrocephaly, failure to thrive, and neurocognitive delay. CFC is part "RASopathy" syndromes caused by pathogenic germline variants in and To estimate cancer risk in CFC we conducted a systematic review using case reports and series.

Methods: We reviewed articles and abstracted CFC cases to form a retrospective cohort based on PRISMA guidelines.
