Hello,
my son has HCM as a result of the Leopard syndrome, which is caused by the PTPN11 gene, just like the Noonan syndrome. For those who have never heard about it, Leopard is not a noun but an acronym which indicates the different pathologies one may develop: for instance, the final "d" stands for deafness, while the initial "L" indicates lentigines, which are the typical feature of the syndrome.
One is hit only by some of the possible diseases, not all of them can develop in a single person.
My question is: has any of you ever heard about other people hit by the Leopard syndrome ?
I ignore how rare this syndrome is, but I think it would be scientifically relevant to discover if a trend is showing for HCM development inside this group of Leopard patients.
Thank you
Giovanni
