2004-598 Statins as Treatment for Cognitive Dysfunction Associated with RASopathies
Summary Professor Alcino Silva and colleagues at the UCLA department of Neurobiology have repurposed HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) to reverse cognitive dysfunction associated with RASopathies, such as neurofibromatosis type 1 and Noonan syndrome. Background RASopathies comprise a group of developmental syndromes arising from germline mutations...
