Abstract
Neurofibromatosis 1-Noonan syndrome is considered a distinct clinical entity, combining characteristics of both autosomal dominant disorders: neurofibromatosis 1 and Noonan syndrome. We present the case of a 20-year-old patient clinically diagnosed with neurofibromatosis 1-Noonan syndrome, with genetic confirmation-heterozygous mutation of PTPN11 gene and a variant of uncertain significance in NF1 gene (c.2989A>G). Associated congenital heart disease was diagnosed at birth-severe pulmonary valve stenosis and infundibular pulmonary stenosis, surgically corrected at the age of one. At adult age, cardiologic assessment shows severe pulmonary regurgitation post commissurotomy, with residual large pulmonary stenosis and left ventricular apical hypertrophy, suggesting apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance. The patient needs periodical follow-up in order to identify the perfect timing for correction of severe pulmonary regurgitation. As there are no specific genetic therapies for neurofibromatosis 1 or Noonan syndrome, the diagnose and management of associated comorbidities is the main aspect to be taken into considered.
