CBL-related disorder
CBL-related disorder
Definition
CBL-related disorder is a genetic condition caused by pathogenic variants in the Cbl ubiquitin ligase gene, (CBL; HGNC:1541). Due to the proposed mechanism indicating the CBL gene's relationship to the RAS-MAPK pathway and the phenotypic presentation similar to that of the RASopathies, CBL-related disorder should be considered a RASopathy disorder. Though there is a wide spectrum of phenotypic variability, broadly, patients with CBL-related disorder have presented with developmental delay, intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental alterations, prenatal lymphatic anomalies, cardiac malformations as well as vascular anomalies particularly affecting the brain (e.g. Moya-moya arteriopathies), craniofacial features indicative of a RASopathy, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, edema of the legs, musculoskeletal and respiratory thorax abnormalities, ectodermal features including cafe-au-lait spots, immunological and hematological disorders and susceptibility to tumors diagnosed as juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) that is usually self-remitting. Note tumor risk beyond JMML has not yet been thoroughly assessed. Due to the clinical presentation of a broad spectrum of these and other phenotypes in patients with variants in CBL, these conditions are currently defined by experts in reference to the causal gene, CBL.
Also known as Cbl syndrome, CBL-related disorder, Noonan syndrome-like disorder with JMML, Noonan syndrome-like disorder with juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia, Noonan syndrome-like disorder with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, Noonan-like syndrome — per MONDO
