  Although there’s no cure for Noonan syndrome, treatments can help decrease its effects. The earlier a diagnosis is made and treatment begins, the greater the benefits. […] Treatment for Noonan syndrome depends on the symptoms and complications and how serious they are. Many of the health and physical issues are treated the same as they would be for anyone else. Given the many problems with this condition, a coordinated team approach is best. […] Recommended approaches may include: […] Certain drugs may treat some kinds of heart problems. If there’s a problem with the heart’s valves, surgery may be needed. The doctor also may recommend that heart function be looked at from time to time. […] A health care professional should measure height three times a year until age 3 and then once a year until adulthood. This will make sure your child is growing. To find out if there is a problem with nutrition, blood tests may be ordered. If your child’s growth hormone levels are not high enough, growth hormone therapy may be a treatment option.

  The diagnosis and management of Noonan syndrome require an interprofessional team that includes a geneticist, pediatrician, primary care provider, ENT surgeon, audiologist, ophthalmologist, and cardiologist. There is no cure for Noonan syndrome as it is a genetically inherited disease. Management of Noonan syndrome is targeted toward symptomatic improvement and supportive care. Interprofessional care is often needed; multiple organ systems are to be addressed. Hearing tests and ophthalmic exams are appropriate throughout childhood. In males with cryptorchidism, orchiopexy should be performed when the child is approximately 1 year old if the testes have not descended. This procedure is done to reduce the risk of developing testicular cancer in adulthood. For congenital heart defects, an echo and ECG should be obtained. Even in patients without a diagnosis of cardiac defects, a cardiac evaluation is needed every 5 years. Short stature can be evaluated for the treatment of growth hormone. Appropriate supportive measures can be used to target lymphedema.

  Short stature affects 83% of children with Noonan Syndrome (NS). The use of Growth Hormone (GH) to treat short stature in NS is a controversial topic due to its conflicting results, cost, duration of treatment and safety concerns. […] There is a real need for more qualitative studies to be performed as there is not enough robust data to allow strong recommendations for the efficacy of GH therapy in children with NS. […] These concerns aside the summation of GH studies shows that individuals who undergo GH treatment gain 5-10 cm of height. […] Almost all studies show that the earlier GH therapy begins the better the results. […] However a 2012 study showed this waning effect can be eliminated by increasing the dose of GH with each successive year of treatment. […] None of the published studies have reported serious adverse effects of GH therapy.

  Researchers at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have resolved a severe lymphatic disorder in a girl with Noonan Syndrome that had led to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, fluid collection around the lungs, and numerous surgeries that had been unable to resolve her symptoms. By identifying a genetic mutation along a pathway related to lymphatic vessel development and function, the research team was able to target the pathway using an existing drug they had used in a previous case to remodel a patients lymphatic system. […] The case study, which was published today in Pediatrics, describes a resolution of the patients symptoms within three months while on the medication. […] The research team had previously used a MEK inhibitor in another patient with a severe lymphatic disorder with great success. That patient had a mutation in the ARAF gene, which is also on the RAS-MAPK pathway. Within months of beginning treatment with trametinib, a MEK inhibitor, the patient saw a resolution of his symptoms and a complete remodeling of his lymphatic system.

  Given that SOS1 operates on the same pathway as ARAF, Jean Belasco, MD, an oncologist in CHOPs Cancer Center who co-led the study, applied for compassionate use of the drug in Marias case, given the lack of other treatment options. […] Within three months of starting the drug, Marias vital signs stabilized. The bleeding stopped, her electrolyte, hemoglobin, and albumin levels returned to normal, and she began to gain weight. […] Remarkable advances in genetics have allowed us to uncover these mutations and cluster them into selective pathways and determine effective therapies based on genetic mutations with very high precision, said Hakonarson. […] He added that the treatment could also benefit patients with other genetic defects, though he noted the ongoing use of the drug treats the symptoms caused by these mutations, but does not fix the gene or cure the underlying condition. […] MEK inhibition has the potential to have significant effects on other organ systems affected by RAS-MAPK gene defects, such as the heart, eyes, skin and the coagulation system, Hakonarson said.
