Titre : Social skills in children with RASopathies: a comparison of Noonan syndrome and neurofibromatosis type 1 Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : E. I. PIERPONT, Auteur ; R. L. HUDOCK, Auteur ; A. M. FOY, Auteur ; M. SEMRUD-CLIKEMAN, Auteur ; M. E. PIERPONT, Auteur ; S. A. BERRY, Auteur ; R. SHANLEY, Auteur ; N. RUBIN, Auteur ; K. SOMMER, Auteur ; C. L. MOERTEL, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : 21 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language Nf1 Neurofibromatosis type 1 Neuropsychological Noonan syndrome RASopathies Social Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Gene mutations within the RAS-MAPK signaling cascade result in Noonan syndrome (NS), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and related disorders. Recent research has documented an increased risk for social difficulties and features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children with these conditions. Despite this emerging evidence, the neuropsychological characteristics associated with social skills deficits are not well understood, particularly for children with NS. METHODS: Parents of children with NS (n = 39), NF1 (n = 39), and unaffected siblings (n = 32) between the ages of 8 and 16 years were administered well-validated caregiver questionnaires assessing their child's social skills, language abilities, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and anxiety. RESULTS: With respect to overall social skills, average ratings of children in both clinical groups were similar, and indicated weaker social skills compared to unaffected siblings. Although ratings of social skills were outside of normal limits for more than four in ten children within the clinical groups, most of the deficits were mild/moderate. Fifteen percent of the children with NS and 5% of the children with NF1 were rated as having severe social skills impairment (< - 2SD). Independent of diagnosis, having fewer ADHD symptoms or better social-pragmatic language skills was predictive of stronger social skills. CONCLUSIONS: Amidst efforts to support social skill development among children and adolescents with RASopathies, neuropsychological correlates such as social language competence, attention, and behavioral self-regulation could be important targets of intervention.
