Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
People aged 2–35 with a molecular confirmation of a RASopathy who were referred to one of the participating Italian centers between 2001 and 2022 and who provided informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals without genetic confirmation of a RASopathy, those outside the 2–35 age range, or people not seen at the participating centers are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this analysis.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter observational analysis of patients with molecularly confirmed RASopathies referred to participating Italian centers from 2001 to 2022, aged 2–35 years. Researchers will compile clinical and laboratory data on lipid and glucose metabolism and analyze trends by age, sex, and genotype. The goal is to define the natural history of lipid and glucose measures in these conditions and identify patterns that could inform clinical monitoring. Data come from several tertiary referral centers in Italy, allowing comparison across sites and patient subgroups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians decide when to monitor and manage cholesterol and glucose in people with RASopathies, potentially reducing long-term cardiovascular and metabolic risks.
How similar studies have gone: Small prior studies have reported low total cholesterol and HDL in RASopathies, but comprehensive multicenter analyses by age, sex, and genotype remain limited.
