  • Title: Prolapse of all cardiac valves in Noonan syndrome.
    Author: Otikunta AN, Subbareddy YV, Polamuri P, Thakkar A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2015 Feb 25; 2015():. PubMed ID: 25716036.
    Abstract:
    Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with genetically heterogeneous inheritance. The incidence of cardiac abnormalities is higher in patients with Noonan syndrome and approximately 80% patients with Noonan syndrome are reported to have cardiac abnormalities during their lifetimes. However, polyvalvular disease in Noonan syndrome is rare. In this case-report, we describe a case of a young man whose features were strongly suggestive of Noonan syndrome and who was diagnosed with prolapse of all four cardiac valves after 22 years of uneventful survival.
