N2 - Noonan syndrome (NS) is a congenital genetic disorder characterized by certain facial features, short stature, and congenital heart disease. The disorder is caused by genetic alterations in the RAS/MAPK signal pathway. NS patients show a predisposition to malignancy; however, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is rarely reported. Here, we describe a NS patient with B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL) harboring a hyperdiploid karyotype and a PTPN11 germline mutation (c.922A>G; p.N308D). We also discuss the relationship between the hyperdiploid karyotype and genetic alterations in the RAS/MAPK pathway in BCP-ALL.
