Mosaic RASopathies are a molecularly heterogeneous group of (neuro)cutaneous syndromes with high phenotypical variability. Postzygotic variants in KRAS have been described oculoectodermal syndrome (OES), encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis (ECCL) and epidermal nevus (ENS). This study confirms the continuum mosaic neurocutaneous showing codon 146 an individual OES and, for first time, (isolated) nevus. The presence psiloliparus individuals indicates that this finding is not specific ECCL...
Epidermal nevus syndrome (ENS) comprises a heterogeneous group of neurocutaneous syndromes associated with the presence epidermal nevi and variable extracutaneous manifestations. Postzygotic activating HRAS pathogenic variants were previously identified in sebaceous (NS), keratinocytic (KEN), different ENS, including Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims cutaneous-skeletal-hypophosphatasia (CSHS). Skeletal involvement HRAS-related ENS ranges from localized bone dysplasia association KEN to...
