Pediatrics Summary of Clinical Service

Attending, Medical Genetics, UCSF: I attend for both the Biochemical Genetics and Dysmorphology services for a minimum of 2 months per year (25%+ time), supervising genetic resident/fellows, rotation pediatric residents and medical students. Although most of my out-patient service is in the NF/Ras Pathway Genetics Clinic, I still may also attend in General Genetics Clinic, Prenatal Genetics Clinic, Cancer Risk and Neurometabolic Clinic. Clinical Director, NF/Ras Pathway Clinic. In 2007, I created a new pathway-based clinic and novel clinical model which encompasses syndromes of the Ras/MAPK pathway, ‘RASopathies”. The mission of this clinic is to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and care of individuals with Neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2, Noonan/LEOPARD, CFC, Costello, Legius syndromes and others, or individuals with a phenotype which is suggestive of a diagnosis in this pathway. This clinic has become extremely successful. I created a UCSF Ras Pathway Provider Network and have over 60 UCSF physicians in both pediatric and adult medicine who are members of this provider network. This clinic has become so successful globally that several other medical centers have adopted my model for RASopathy patients. Professional Organizations

In the recent past, I did a 3-part lecture series on Medical Genetics for Pediatric Residents at Children’s Hospital Oakland and I give yearly lectures on Genetics and Gene Therapy in Course N294B--Medical Genetics for Nursing Students. I am invited to numerous formal lectures regionally, nationally and internationally each year. I mentor clinical fellows, pediatric residents, medical students and post-doctoral fellows in the clinical arena and the research arena, as well as have summer students and researchers join my lab. Please see Mentorship section. I am the Program Director for the UCSF Medical Genetics Residency, after serving 4 years as the programs Associate Director. In these roles, I maintain an educational environment conducive to educating the residents, oversee and ensure the quality of didactic and clinical education, and implemented policies and procedures consistent with the institutional and program requirements.

I was the senior and corresponding author on this project and proposed the hypothesis that Costello syndrome was due to perturbation of the Ras/MAPK pathway leading to a subsequent body of work that resulted in the CS and CFC gene discoveries. In addition, this hypothesis was the basis for my K-grant which was successfully funded. As it turned out, CS was due to activating HRAS mutation which I independently identified. 2) Estep AL, WE Tidyman, MA Teitell, PD Cotter, KA Rauen. 2006.

to demonstrate that malignancies for CS individuals have loss of heterozygosity of HRAS. This project provided further ground work for the CFC gene discovery in my lab. 3) Rodriguez-Viciana P, O Tetsu, AL Estep, WE Tidyman, BA Conger, M Santa Cruz, F McCormick, KA Rauen. 2006.

I was the senior and corresponding author on this project and proposed the candidate genes to sequence based on previous work I had done on this syndrome in my lab. This study also determined the first human genetic evidence for the linear nature of the MAPK pathway downstream of Ras and also identified the first reported mutations (germline or somatic) in MEK genes. Identifying mutations in MEK directed my lab and then other labs to identify and subsequently publish somatic mutations in MEK in ovarian, lung cancer and melanoma. 4) Rauen KA.

This work represents the culmination of work I have done over the last 11 years on the “RASopathies” (a term that I coined which is now used internationally) — the group of genetic syndromes caused by germline dysregulation of the Ras/MAPK pathway. This symposium, which I organized and chaired, brought together international experts in the field of the Ras/MAPK Pathway and provided the framework and established the groundwork onto which the discussions for clinical trials in Noonan, Costello and CFC syndromes will move forward. My insistence for this meeting that the syndrome advocacy groups come together was unprecedented for NS, NF1, CS and CFC organizations and truly set the stage for all the RASopathy meetings that have followed. This International meeting was followed-up by a workshop that I sponsored by a UCSF CTSI grant which set forth the paradigm for clinical trials for CS and CFC. The workshop was published: Rauen KA et al, Costello and cardio-facio-cutaneous syndromes: Moving toward clinical trials in RASopathies. American Journal of Medical Genetics. 157(2):136-46. 2012. RASopathy Clinic and Translational Program: The RASopathy clinical translation program, the first of its kind, bridges pediatric and adult disciplines, as well as unites the School of Medicine, the Medical Center and the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. My ultimate goal is to create the first Center Of Excellence for RASopathies.

1) Research Program:

A class of medical genetic syndromes has emerged caused by germline mutations in genes associated with the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which I have termed “RASopathies”. My research program involves the clinical, translational and basic science study of these cancer syndromes with efforts to identify underlying genetic abnormalities affecting common developmental and cancer pathways. I mainly focus on two RASopathies within this pathway: Costello syndrome (CS) and cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome (CFC). CS is a complex developmental disorder involving characteristic craniofacial features, failure to thrive, developmental delay, cardiac and skeletal anomalies, hypotonia and a predisposition to develop neoplasia, both benign and malignant. CS is caused by activating germline mutations in HRAS which we independently identified in my lab. Like CS, CFC is also a rare multiple congenital anomaly disorder caused by germline mutations identified by my lab: BRAF, MEK1 and MEK2 within the MAPK pathway, one of the downstream cascade effected by Ras. The type of BRAF

mutations found in CFC recapitulates the different types of mutations found in cancer which cause an alteration of signaling in the MAPK cascade. However, in contrast to the mutation spectrum seen in cancer, the majority of BRAF mutations we identified in CFC are novel. Understanding the genetic role of HRAS in CS and BRAF, MEK1 and MEK2 in CFC syndrome is the first step in gaining insight to the role Ras plays in human development including skeletal myogenesis, cellular signaling and cancer progression. The overall goal of this work is to move towards treatment for this group of syndromes. Along with understanding the basic biochemical alteration of germline mutation in BRAF and MEK in my lab, we most recently defined a novel myopathy in patients with CS and CFC syndrome. This work culminated in robust preliminary data to secure extramural funding via an NIH/NIAMS R01 grant. There are numerous intracellular signaling pathways, including the Ras pathway, involved in normal muscle development. My R01 proposes experiments addressing the cellular mechanisms that mediate myogenesis and its dysregulation using mouse models for CS and CFC. The results of these studies should provide new insight into the mechanisms of muscle development and disease, and ultimately rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as reveal new targets for therapeutic intervention. 2) Clinic Program: UCSF NF/Ras Pathway Genetics Clinic

In 2007, I created a new UCSF clinic and developed a new clinical model for individuals who have been diagnosed with RASopathies or suspected of having a RASopathy. The pathway-based clinic has been exceptionally successful here at UCSF and has served as a template by other Medical Centers in the country and around the world. We have a large catchment with patients coming as far away as Venezuela, Singapore and Hawaii. Although individually rare, this group of genetic syndromes together represents one of the largest classes of Mendelian genetic disorders. Their common underlying pathogenetic mechanism brings about significant overlap in phenotypic features resulting in common specialty care needs which inspired the concept of a pathway-based (instead of a disease-based) clinic. The clinic’s unique attributes include: 1) a pathway-based approach; 2) life-long, comprehensive case management and multidisciplinary referrals within one provider network; 3) a network of more than 60 UCSF specialists at a single tertiary care center; 4) facilitated transition from pediatric to adult care in all specialties; 5) pre-implantation, prenatal and obstetric care; 6) guidance from an external patient advocacy advisory board and 7) guidance from an internal scientific advisory board. We are working toward becoming a center for Ras translational medicine, a training venue for translational research and a hub for clinical trials. This novel clinic is a model not only for the care of individuals with Ras pathway disorders, but also for other groups of rare, but overlapping genetic disorders.

The clinical translational research program which stems from the Ras Clinic now has several core faculty (Laurie Weiss, Ophir Klein, Erik Ullian), all collaborating in research endeavors. We have established a large RASopathy biobank (in collaboration with Dr. Weiss) of DNA samples and other specimens including urine, saliva and various miscellaneous tissue samples. These samples are linked to clinical data. We have produced numerous lymphoblastoid cell lines, as well as fibroblast cells lines and have created iPSCs for basic research and clinical translational studies. This is a collaborative effort of UCSF PIs dedicated to RASopathy research and who have joined together to help establish this RASopathy research group.
