Our findings highlight that the Ras-MAPK pathway plays a key role in white-matter development in children, influencing connectivity & social communication. (7/7)

🧠 Noonan syndrome (NS) & Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) exhibited distinct impacts on white-matter microstructure. Using fractional anisotropy (FA) & axial diffusivity (AD), we observed differences in intra- & inter-hemispheric tracts. (3/7)

We used diffusion neuroimaging to uncover how pathogenic variants in the Ras-MAPK pathway affect brain development, particularly white-matter structural connectivity. Here’s what we found 👇(2/7)

🧵 Excited to Share Dr. Monica Siqueiros-Sanchez's latest paper on the impact of pathogenic variants in the Ras–mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway on white matter tracts in the human brain. (1/7)

I had the honor and pleasure of sharing my thoughts on the research and care for children with #ADHD, #Autisem and #RASopathies, specificaly #NF1 and #Noonan Syndrome. @ChildrensTumor; @ntapresearch; @StanfordMed

Great talk! Just at the QnA, a child pulled the fire alarm 😂 So reach out if you have questions for Dr Serur or @BridgelabU btw: it was a false alarm

Speaking today the #GNC24 at beautiful Porto was such a pleasure. I enjoyed sharing our #geneticfirst work on #RASopathies and hearing about the great work at #Payne lab. @RASopathiesnet @BridgelabU @ChildrensTumor @ntapresearch

6/6 Full paper is here authors.elsevier.com/a/1jIfF8jVtv5U…. A very special thanks to the children and families who participated and the members of @ntapresearch @NICHD_NIH @NoonanSyndrome1 @StanfordMed @StanfordPSY @RASopathiesnet

5/6 When looking at the syndrome level, #Noonansyndrome and #Neurofibromatosistype1 have a converging effect on surface area and cortical thickness but a diverging effect on subcortical volumes.

1/6 #ChloeMcGhee latest research on neuroanatomical variation in children with RASopathies, specifically, Noonan Syndrome and Neurofibromatosis type 1 was published today in BP:CNNI @BiologicalPsyc1, a 🧵😍
