Neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome

Definition:

Neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome (NFNS) presents combined characteristics of both autosomal dominant disorders, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan syndrome (NS). NF1 is characterized by neurofibromas, cafe-au-lait spots, osseous lesions, and brain tumors such as gliomas. NS presents characteristic facial appearance, short stature, hypertelorism, strabismus, and low-set ears. It has been reported that mutations in the NF1 gene are associated with NFNS.
