MEK Inhibitors for the Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Patients With RASopathies
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of trametinib treatment in patients with Hyperthropic cardiomyopathy and a genetic mutation in the RAS/MAPK pathway.
Local Inflammation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
The understanding of ARVC pathophysiology remains incomplete. Several clues indicate that disease progression is mediated through inflammation. The present study aim to document the feasibility of detecting the potential presence of intracardiac local inflammatory components in patients with ARVC.
Marfan Syndrome Moderate Exercise Trial II
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a distinctive connective tissue disorder that affects multiple organ systems including the heart, bones, ligaments, and eyes, and is associated with significant risk of aortic dissection. Given limited evidence from in-vitro studies, and theoretical concerns, the majority of patients with MFS are restricted from certain physical …
Arrhythmogenic Activity During Exercise in ARVC Patients
Current guidelines advocate that ARVC patients, typically young and active individuals with a significant history of competitive endurance sports, cease endurance training in favour of activities with low cardiac burden such as bowling and golf. Empirically, it is often suggested that heart rate during exercise should not exceed 100-120 bpm …
Solid Tumors in RASopathies
RASopathies are a group of syndromes, caused by variants of genes involved in the regulation of the Ras/MAP/ERK pathway. This intracellular transduction pathway profoundly affects embryogenic development, organogenesis, synaptic plasticity and neuronal growth. RASopathies are characterized by multi-organ involvement, growth delay, premature aging and haemato-oncological manifestations. Based on evidences provided …
Vosoritide for Short Stature in Turner Syndrome
Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by a missing whole or part of the second sex chromosome in a phenotypic female, resulting in short stature due to haploinsufficiency of the short-stature homeobox-containing (SHOX) gene. Growth hormone (GH) is an approved therapy for this condition, although not associated with GH deficiency, and …
Prevalence and Characterization of Pain in RASopathies
RASopathies are a group of syndromes caused by variants in genes belonging to the RAS/MAPK pathway. Pain is a neglected topic in RASopathies but it is frequently complained by affected individuals.
Open-label, Dose Escalation Study of Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of TN-401 in Adults With PKP2 Mutation-associated ARVC
This first-in-human study is designed to evaluate the safety, and preliminary efficacy (PD) of TN-401 gene therapy in adult patients with symptomatic PKP2 mutation-associated ARVC.
Effect of RAS/MAPK Pathway Hyperactivation on Growth' and Bone' Profile of the RASopathies
Costello syndrome (CS) and cardio-facio cutaneous syndrome (CFCS) belongs to RASopathies, a group of multisystemic disorders caused by unregulated signalling through the RAS/MAPK pathway, an intracellular signalling pathway regulating multiple processes such as cellular proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis and also contributing to oncogenesis. They share a recognizable facial appearance, aged …
Blockade of the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone System in Patients With ARVD
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by the progressive replacement of cardiomyocytes by fatty and fibrous tissue in the right ventricle (RV). These infiltrations lead to cardiac electrical instability and ventricular arrhythmia. Current treatment for ARVD is empirical and essentially based on treatment of arrhythmia. Thus, …
