Noonan Syndrome Becky, now 6! Becky, aged 4 My interest in Noonan Syndrome (NS) began in 1995 when my daughter Rebecca was born. She had feeding problems, was sick nearly every time she was fed, and ended up being labelled a 'failure to thrive' baby. Investigations into this failure to thrive revealed that she also had congenital heart defects (pulmonary stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and a diagnosis of Noonan Syndrome was made. At the time we were given no information at all about NS, so I made it my aim to find out as much as I could about the condition - and much of what I learned is accessible via these pages. I also volunteered to become the UK Representative for The Noonan Syndrome Support Group , and you can get lots more information on NS from their website, The Birth Defects Foundation website, or by following the links below. Thankfully Becky is now a very happy and healthy little girl, her heart defects have improved dramatically, and she is doing everything you would expect a child of her age to do - so although a diagnosis of NS can be very daunting at first, there can be happy endings!!!

Each year BDF runs an annual get together for families and professionals interested in the condition, where research and news is reviewed and disseminated. Families get to meet and relationships and support networks are established. "Through BDF, NS has gone from being the unknown condition to become one of the better recognised disorders. Not only has the research on NS benefited children and families but because it is a complex genetic disorder, information gained has also impacted on the knowledge of other syndromes, congenital heart disease, endocrine matters etc". BDF publishes a booklet on the condition that is freely available and is based upon its pioneering research. NS INTERNATIONALLY BDF is in contact with many small groups and families internationally who come together annually to exchange ideas and share experiences. Contact is welcome with any individual, family or professional concerned or interested in NS.

Additionally the characteristics, especially facial, appear to change as the individual ages. Characteristics include: heart defects , the commonest being pulmonary valve stenosis; atrial septal defects; ventricular septal defects and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: facial features are ptosis (drooping eyelids); large downward slanting eyes; hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes), flat nasal bridge; short neck with or without excess skin folds; characteristic low hairline on neck; low set ears with frontal lobe rotations: short stature in correct proportion. Additional features may include: excess oedema at birth and slow weight gain; feeding difficulties with poor sucking and weaning and frequent and/or forceful vomiting in babies which may be assessed as failure to thrive; mild hearing loss; dental delay; elevated or depressed sternum; hypotonia ; undescended testes; mild developmental delay in a minority of children; speech and behaviour problems.

Noonan Syndrome Support Group of Arizona Daniel at 5 years old FACTS Noonan syndrome is a genetic condition which has an incidence rate of: 1/1,000-1/2,500 live births. It can occur in both males and females. Noonan syndrome is similar to Turner syndrome. Characteristics may include: congenital heart disease, short stature, distinctive facial features, dental problems, bruising, bleeding, and learning difficulties. The facial features may include: low-set or rotated ears, and Hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes). Another characteristic is "Pectus excavatum," which is a concave shape in the chest. Children with Noonan syndrome may have some, or all, of the characteristics. All children with Noonan syndrome should see a cardiologist and have an ultrasound examination of the heart chambers and valves.

Noonan Syndrome Noonan syndrome (NS), sometimes known as Ullrich-Turner syndrome, has an estimated incidence of 1/2500 to 1/1000 and may be the second most common syndrome with associated congenital heart disease (which affects < 80% of NS patients) after Down’s syndrome. Characteristic facies (including severe ptosis), pulmonary valve stenosis, and short stature ( <10th percentile) are features of this syndrome, as are undescended testis among males, coagulation abnormalities (with history of troublesome postoperative bleeding or easy bruising found in 65% of patients), and pectus carinatum/escavatum. Additionally, 20% of patients have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. An interesting component of the syndrome is that birth weight is usually within the normal range, but subsequent growth (height and weight) and sexual development may be significantly retarded. Because the head circumference remains within normal range, the patient may appear to be macrocepahlic. Previously, an association was suggested between NS and mental deficits, but now is reportedly extremely rare. Consequently, the presence of mental retardation and NS signifies the need for careful chromosomal studies. Although NS is often an autosomal dominant disorder, the gene locus has not yet been mapped no the gene product identified. Therefore, the diagnosis of Noonan syndrome must be made on its clinical features. NS should be part of the differential diagnosis for children with short stature. The bleeding disorder, although undiagnosable as to specific etiology, might be a clue to the syndrome.

Home Site Map Search Contact Us ... Translate? Welcome to the Noonan Support Group (TNSSG). Noonan Syndrome is a condition which affects both children and adults. It is often associated with congenital heart disease and short stature. It is believed that one in 1000 children worldwide are born with this condition. Each day a child is born with the condition. It's possible that 1:100 people carry the gene yet are virtually unaffected and undiagnosed. Once affected, their is a 50/50 chance of passing the gene on to one or more of their children. It can also occur sporadically, presumably due to a new mutation. Often called a "hidden" condition, the children affected may have no obvious casual signs to the onlooker, but the problems may be many and complex with no clinical test available. This is a genetic condition that can affect the heart, growth, blood clotting, mental and physical development. Affected individuals may have behavior problems, learning difficulties and many other anomalies. Noonan Syndrome is one of the most common of those conditions associated with congenital heart abnormality. Still its exact cause remains unknown.....

Noonan Syndrome is a congenital disorder, of which the most important characteristics are: facial features, short stature and a congenital heart defect. It occurs in roughly 1 on 2000 births. The name was given by a pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Jacqueline Noonan. She recognised in several children with stenosis of the pulmonary valve, the same facial characteristics and short stature. She first described the syndrome in 1963. To this day there is no blood test for Noonan Syndrome, or any other conclusive test. The diagnose depends on recognition of the symptoms by a knowledgeable doctor. What are the characteristics of NS?

The fact that some children do not have a parent with Noonan syndrome likely reflects sporadic inheritance, i.e., presumably the occurrence of a new mutation. The first specific gene that causes Noonan syndrome, called PTPN11, was discovered in 2001. It is expected that other genes will be discovered that cause Noonan syndrome. Frequently seen abnormalities include webbing of the neck, changes in the sternum (usually a sunken chest called pectus excavatum), facial abnormalities, and congenital
