· How Can We Support Behavioral Wellness in RASopathies? A Focus Group Study, Masonic Institute of the Developing Brain, University of Minnesota– “We are seeking research participants for focus groups that will help us to learn more about how to provide support behavioral wellness in individuals with RASopathies. To participate, you must be either the parent/caregiver of an individual with a RASopathy (listed below) between the ages of 3-25 OR you must be a young adult with a RASopathy between the ages of 18-25.
o Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome
o Costello syndrome (CS)
o Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)
o Noonan syndrome (NS)
Participants will complete a 1.5 hour focus group in which they will be asked questions about their or their child's behavioral health history, as well as their perspectives regarding treatments for any concerns. Participants will receive a $20 gift card.” added March 2023
· RASopathies Longitudinal Cohort Study – “The study team hopes to gain a better understanding of the characteristics and cancer risk in individuals with RASopathies, and will work to understand how the specific genetic variant of each individual contributes to their characteristics. With this information, we will be able to make more informed recommendations for cancer screening and improve treatment options for individuals with a RASopathy. We will collect health information from people who have or are at risk of developing a RASopathy, with the exception of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) which is supported through other studies.” recruiting as of July 2021

· Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Study for Individuals with Noonan Syndrome with Multiple Lentigines / LEOPARD syndrome – “We are conducting a research study at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) to learn more about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in individuals of all ages who have been diagnosed with Noonan Syndrome with Multiple Lentigines (NS-ML). NS-ML, also known as LEOPARD Syndrome. We are asking individuals to send us as many of the following medical records over the years so that we can look for patterns and trends:
o all heart echo reports and recordings
o clinic notes
o genetic testing results
We believe this effort will help us better understand how HCM affects people with NS-ML, which will help us design future research studies that may help patients with this diagnosis.
If you are interested in this research study or if you would like more information, please contact the research nurse for this study, Jane Messere, RN at 857-218-3628 or at jane.messere@cardio.chboston.org and she would be happy to provide you with more information. Thank you.” still recruiting?
