    Abstract RASopathies comprise a group of clinically overlapping developmental disorders caused by genetic variations affecting components or modulators of the RAS-MAPK signaling cascade, which lead to dysregulation of signal flow through this pathway. Noonan syndrome and the less frequent, clinically related disorders, Costello syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome, Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines, and Noonan syndrome-like disorder with loose anagen hair are part of the RASopathy spectrum and share a recognizable pattern of multisystem involvement. This review describes the "Noonan syndrome-like" phenotype as a common phenotypic signature of generalized developmental RAS pathway dysregulation. Distinctive features of the different entities are revisited against the background of the understanding of underlying genetic alterations and genotype correlations, which has evolved rapidly during the past 20 years, thereby leading to suggestions regarding the nosology of RASopathies.

    Abstract Martin und sein Bruder Georg (beide tragen also die Namen berühmter Drachenkämpfer) haben sich als Mitarbeiter in Geister- und Grottenbahn so gut angepaßt, daß sie als Verkleidungen durchgehen können. Erst in der Begegnung mit Kindern gewinnen sie ihre alte Identität (vermindert um ihre Gefährlichkeit) wieder zurück und siedeln sich in Wäldern außerhalb der Stadt an. Das Fortschreiten der Technik ist mächtiger als die "alten Drachen", ihnen bleibt nur die Flucht aufs Land. (PG) <dt.>

    Abstract Background/aim: Carney complex (CNC) is a rare autosomal dominant tumor-predisposition syndrome with variable expression. Its main features are pigmentary skin lesions, soft-tissue myxomas, and endocrine overactivity or tumors. There is occasional overlap with other syndromes, and oligosymptomatic cases may escape diagnosis. This report describes the long journey of a patient until the diagnosis of CNC was finally made after a thorough diagnostic workup.
    Case report: The female patient was referred for treatment of a subcutaneous tumor of the lower abdomen. Medical reports detailed previous excisions of fibroma, neurofibroma and myxoma, and a malignant tumor of the cerebellopontine angle. The resected subcutaneous tumor was a myxoma. The identification of a previously unknown frameshift mutation in the gene for protein kinase cAMP-dependent type I regulatory subunit alpha (PRKAR1A) in the patient confirmed the diagnosis of CNC.
    Conclusion: Patients with CNC may have highly variable clinical findings. Some rare lesions in CNC are more commonly recorded in other syndromes, making early diagnosis difficult in some cases. Genetic testing greatly facilitates diagnosis.

    Abstract Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), also called hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH), is a very heterogeneous condition and represents the most common cause of severe and persistent hypoglycemia in infancy and childhood. The majority of cases in which a genetic cause can be identified have monogenic defects affecting pancreatic β-cells and their glucose-sensing system that regulates insulin secretion. However, CHI/HH has also been observed in a variety of syndromic disorders. The major categories of syndromes that have been found to be associated with CHI include overgrowth syndromes (e.g. Beckwith-Wiedemann and Sotos syndromes), chromosomal and monogenic developmental syndromes with postnatal growth failure (e.g. Turner, Kabuki, and Costello syndromes), congenital disorders of glycosylation, and syndromic channelopathies (e.g. Timothy syndrome). This article reviews syndromic conditions that have been asserted by the literature to be associated with CHI. We assess the evidence of the association, as well as the prevalence of CHI, its possible pathophysiology and its natural course in the respective conditions. In many of the CHI-associated syndromic conditions, the mechanism of dysregulation of glucose-sensing and insulin secretion is not completely understood and not directly related to known CHI genes. Moreover, in most of those syndromes the association seems to be inconsistent and the metabolic disturbance is transient. However, since neonatal hypoglycemia is an early sign of possible compromise in the newborn, which requires immediate diagnostic efforts and intervention, this symptom may be the first to bring a patient to medical attention. As a consequence, HH in a newborn or infant with associated congenital anomalies or additional medical issues remains a differential diagnostic challenge and may require a broad genetic workup.

    Title translation Cancer in people with an intellectual disability in Germany: prevalence, genetics, and care situation.
    Abstract Intellectual disability has a prevalence rate of approximately 1% of the population; in Germany, this is around 0.5-1 million people. The life expectancy of this group of people is reduced, with cancer being one of the most common causes of death (approx. 20%). Overall, the risk of cancer and mortality is increased compared to the general population.Certain genetic syndromes predispose to cancer in this vulnerable group, but associated comorbidities or lifestyle could also be risk factors for cancer. People with cognitive impairments are less likely to attend preventive check-ups, and challenges arise in medical care due to physical, communicative, and interactional characteristics. Optimized cooperation between clinical centers for people with disabilities and the respective cancer centers is required in order to tailor the processes to the individual.In Germany, there is a lack of data on the prevalence of cancer entities and the use and need for healthcare services. There is an urgent need to focus attention on cancer prevention, treatment, and research in the vulnerable and heterogeneous group of people with intellectual disabilities suffering from cancer in order to effectively counteract the increase in cancer-related deaths in this population group.The article summarizes specialist knowledge on cancer in people with an intellectual disability, identifies special features of treatment, presents care structures, and derives specific requirements for clinics and research.
