Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Individuals of any age with a genetically confirmed Noonan syndrome diagnosis who consent to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not experiencing growth issues or who do not access GH treatment may not see direct personal benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational registry will store a secure online database of individuals with Noonan syndrome across Italy. It will collect genetic confirmation, signs and symptoms, growth patterns, and short- and long-term health outcomes. The goal is to learn how Noonan syndrome progresses, how specific gene changes relate to symptoms, and to evaluate growth hormone treatment safety and efficacy. Findings will inform long-term care recommendations and may support future clinical trials. Participation is open to people of any age with genetically confirmed Noonan syndrome and requires informed consent.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Care teams may receive better guidance for long-term management and potential access to safer, more effective care strategies for Noonan syndrome.
How similar studies have gone: Noonan syndrome registries have provided insights in other countries, supporting feasibility and value of this approach.
