We present a patient with JMML who developed moyamoya disease and neovascular glaucoma. Our patient exhibited a Noonan syndrome-like phenotype. Genetic analysis revealed acquired isodisomy and a germline heterozygous mutation in CBL.[pubfacts.com]
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (obstructive or nonobstructive type) is present in up to 30% of patients and can present at birth or in infancy or childhood.[misc.medscape.com]
Both twins presented with somatic aberrations of chromosome 7 and mutations in PTPN11.[clinmedjournals.org]
Clinical features are highly variable, including facial dysmorphism, short neck, developmental delay, hyperextensible joints and thorax abnormalities with widelyspacednipples.[uniprot.org]
Moreover, before any patient with Noonan syndrome can undergo a surgical procedure, a full hematologic workup must be performed. If full phenotypic expression is not apparent, karyotyping may be necessary.[misc.medscape.com]
There is no recommendation for tumor surveillance at this time, but clinical vigilance and workup of potential tumor-related symptoms, especially for NBL, are suggested ( 61, 65 ).[clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]
[…] pallor, fever and skin rash, peripheral blood monocyte counts 1x109/L, bone marrow blast counts 20% and the absence of BCR-ABL1 rearrangements are usually indicative of JMML [2], yet diagnosis can be established with certainty only after laboratory workup[clinmedjournals.org]
Clinical Testing and Workup A complete blood count (CBC) can be taken to evaluate the size, number, and maturity of blood cells. In JMML, the CBC frequently reveals high levels of white blood cells and low levels of red blood cells and platelets.[rarediseases.org]

Prognosis Adverse factors include: Age at diagnosis: 2 years or more High fetal hemoglobin level at diagnosis Platelet count below 33,000/mm3 at diagnosis (considered to be the strongest indicator of prognosis).[78stepshealth.us]

EPIDEMIOLOGY Noonan syndrome is characterized by marked variable expressivity, which makes it difficult to identify mildly affected individuals. The overall incidence is believed to be between 1/1000 and 1/2500 live births.[flipper.diff.org]

The first clue to this pathophysiology was the identification of gain-of-function mutations in the PTPN11 gene (OMIM 176876) in 40% of NS patients. 6 Several other genes involved in the RAS/MAPK cascade were later found to explain smaller subgroups of[nature.com]

After bone marrow transplant, reducing ongoing immunosuppressive therapy has worked successfully to reverse the course of a bone marrow with a dropping donor percentage [ clarification needed ] and to prevent a relapse.[en.wikipedia.org]
For example, antibiotics may be given to help prevent or fight infections. Investigational Therapies Targeted therapies are being studied for the treatment of children with JMML.[rarediseases.org]
