Study of the Thyroid Function and Echostructural Morphology in Patients Affected With Rasopathies (ECORAS2023)

The study aims to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid disease, particularly with autoimmune pathogenesis (isolated hyperthyrotropinemia, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid nodules) and/or morphostructural abnormalities of the thyroid gland in patients with RASopathy genetically confirmed by NGS technique (analysis of the genes: BRAF, CBL, HRAS, KRAS, LZTR1, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, MRAS, NRAS, PPP1CB, PTPN11, RAF1, RIT1, RRAS2, SHOC2, SOS1, SOS2) and to compare the data obtained in our sample with those of the general population. The secondary aim of the study is to evaluate the association between vitamin D deficiency and/or other abnormalities of bone metabolism and thyroid disease and/or morphostructural anomalies of the thyroid gland in patients with RASopathy.
