What type of mutation is found in SHP protein in cases of noonan syndrome?
Added by Jennifer C.
Step 1
Noonan syndrome is commonly associated with mutations in genes involved in the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway, including the PTPN11 gene, which encodes the SHP-2 protein (a protein tyrosine phosphatase). Show more…

The mutation Jill Viles has in her LMNA gene is R527P. The fly mutation analog is R564P. Priscilla Lopes-Schliep also has a mutation in her LMNA gene called R482W. The fly mutation analog is K521W. What does this nomenclature mean? What kind of mutations are these? How do they change the laminin protein? Are these dominant or recessive alleles? How do you know?
