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]

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]
