Noonan syndrome patients harboring causative variants in LZTR1 are particularly at risk to develop severe and early-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In this study, we investigate the mechanistic consequences of a homozygous variant LZTR1 by using patient-specific and CRISPR-Cas9-corrected induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) cardiomyocytes. Molecular, cellular, and functional phenotyping in combination with in silico prediction identify an LZTR1-specific disease mechanism provoking cardiac hypertrophy.

RASopathies are rare developmental genetic syndromes caused by germline pathogenic variants in genes that encode components of the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathway. Although the incidence of each RASopathy syndrome is rare, collectively, they represent one of the largest groups of multiple congenital anomaly syndromes and have severe developmental consequences. Here, we review our understanding of how RAS/MAPK dysregulation in RASopathies impacts skeletal muscle development and the importance of RAS/MAPK pathway regulation for embryonic myogenesis.
