miller tig vs lincoln electric tig
It all depends on how much coin u want to shell out. The lincoln precision tig and the synchrowaves from miller are pretty even in my opinion. I like millers arc better at real low amps but i like lincons set up better with drawers and storage compartments. If your talking inverters i was told by a lincoln rep himself not to get their invertec because they have been having alot of problems with them. That was like 2 years ago so dont know if they got it worked out. The dynasty line is hard to beat though. Its a nice welder

Anytime you are looking for a new piece of equipment, check forums for problems with particular units. I recommend Miller inverter units, but they are pricey. Lincoln inverters are supposedly made in Italy and they are having problems with their input voltage selection circuitry. Repair runs about $800. I wouldn't touch these. Everlast cost about 1/2 of the Miller unit, but they seem to be hit and miss on performance. For some they work great, others have problems with them. There are reports of problems with customer support from Everlast as well. Miller customer support is top notch.
The inverter units have a lot of features that large transformer units do not, which is why I recommend an inverter. I will be buying one in the near future myself.

I tend to buy Miller, so that all my parts will interchange between machines as much as possible.

this is a miller forum so the answers you get will be some what biased however i would go with miller. all my welders have been from miller and i have been very satisfied. I also had two warranty claims and both times i was treated very well. (the second time the cooler was 1 month out of warranty and Miller still covered it)
As for model tig welder, i would go with a syncrowave 200 or 250. proven track record and a great machine. What is your budget and how thick of material are you planning to weld? If you can afford it the Dynasty series of miller tig welders is the best you can get.

The Synchrowave is a good machine. Used them a lot. But you need to make sure you have the power to run one. You can get some real bargains on a used one, if your power supply can support it.
The Dynasty is the top of the line. But the price makes it a long term investment for the future. I love mine!

Since you want to weld titanium and aluminum, your looking at the most expensive tig welders out there. Ac/dc with high frequency start and remote amp control. I don't care for the diversion series tig welders. They have an extremely low duty cycle and minimal ac adjustments and will not stick weld as all tig welders should. The inverters like the dynasty series machines are very costly. If you have the power available, I prefer the longevity of the transformer welders like the syncrowave and precision tig machines.
A dc only tig will cost far less but will not allow you to weld aluminum.Lincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tig

En español | The day after Thanksgiving, a collective groan goes up as millions of Americans step on the bathroom scale. But here's a consoling thought: A few extra pounds may in fact be a good thing — plumping up a sagging face and providing protective cushioning for increasingly brittle bones.
A growing body of evidence points in this direction. In 2005, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked at body mass index or BMI — an estimate of a person's body fat calculated by height and weight — and found that overweight people [with a BMI of 25 to 29.9] had less chance of dying than people with a normal BMI or a low BMI. For those over age 70 the evidence was even stronger. Says Katherine M. Flegal, CDC senior research scientist and lead author of the 2005 study, "The lower your BMI the worse your chances of survival."
"Banging on older people just because their BMI is 26 or 27 [when] some researchers say it's supposed to be under 25 is just silly," says G. David Williamson, a professor at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. "I don't see any evidence that function or longevity are compromised in that narrow range."
For people with osteoporosis a few extra pounds may actually be beneficial. "The more stress you put on bones, the more they grow, so someone who weighs more will have denser bones," says Timothy Church, M.D., professor at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. "That's an advantage as we grow older and lose one to two percent of muscle a year."
Younger or plumper?
Another plus to a little body fat is that it provides "volume replacement," filling in the wrinkles and sunken areas of the face to provide a more youthful appearance. Last year, doctors at Case Western Reserve University compared photos of identical twins ages 40 and older and found the heavier twin, with a BMI at least four points higher, looked younger than the thinner sibling, who often appeared gaunt or haggard. For twins over age 55, the twin with a BMI that was eight points higher looked younger, according to the study.

No ground and pound there. Air it out and win Super Bowls.
It'll happen again this season as well. It'll continue to happen going forward until the NFL swings some of the rule changes back in favor of the running game. And the QB position dominates the NFL and I just don't see that happening.
Upgrade your QB.

The Miami Average Joe's...Where mediocrity is rewarded.
Thanks to LibertineOneThree for the sig
Joe needs to return, but our perception of what is to come we will severely question.
I agree. A loss this week helps absolutely no one in the organization. They have to win this game or you're right Hayden- there will be riots.
Die hard Dolphins and Devils fan.
If we Lose this Game, and Throw in the 37-3 Defeat at Home to the Titans. We must start over yet again. Cant lose to Bad teams at Home Man.
Joe Philbin and Ryan Tannehill need more time....much more time to try to establish themselves. However, they need signs of progress and some wins to keep the dogs off them while they are progressing.
Each time the Dolphins score this Sunday, they should play The Price is Right fail music.
This Sunday's game is HUGE on SO many levels
Hayden! Hi Man. It's not a GAME anymore. The NFL Downgraded it to a Scrimmage.

An impromptu public forum broke out following a briefing between the Charles County commissioners and the county liquor board Wednesday evening as dozens of Westlake-area residents turned out to continue protesting the imminent opening of a liquor store near Westlake High School.
After having their liquor license approved May 9 by the Board of License Commissioners of Charles County, the owners of Cheers liquor store plan to open next month in a shopping center on Middleton Road near its intersection with Smallwood Drive, within easy walking distance of the high school and a nearby day care center.
Current rules require liquor stores to be more than 500 feet from the closest edge of any school. Cheers will be 506 feet from Westlake.
Twenty residents, including Westlake Principal Chrystal Benson, attended the commissioners' public forum last month to voice their opposition to the store.
County Attorney Barbara Holtz began Wednesday's briefing by declaring the liquor board's decision to grant the liquor license legally sound.
Specifically, she said that the grounds for denying a liquor license under state law include if it is "not necessary for the accommodation of the public" or "will duly disturb the peace" of the neighborhood, and if applicant is unfit or has made any false statements or committed fraud in the application.
Holtz then quoted state law, reading aloud, "If no such findings are made by the board, then the application shall be approved." No one spoke in opposition to the license at the May 9 hearing.
"Thus, because the board had only evidence in support of the application to consider, it had no choice but to grant the application," she concluded.
Commissioners' President Candice Quinn Kelly (D), who was not at last month's forum, asked whether any testimony in opposition to the license would have made a difference in the board's decision.
"It could have at least influenced the outcome," board member Wayne Magoon said.
He specified that any opposing testimony would have needed to address factors other than the store's proximity to the school.
"You could come and argue that it's too close, but the item in the law says 500 [feet], so we'd have to come up with another argument, the other argument perhaps being it doesn't serve the community well, and that would be a great argument," Magoon said.
Kelly repeatedly asked whether there were legal means to revisit the application. At board meetings, Kelly is flanked on both sides by attorneys in fellow Commissioners Reuben B. Collins II (D) and Debra M. Davis (D), who along with Holtz maintained that the Cheers application meets legal muster.
Holtz explained that any prospective appellant would have needed to attend the original hearing in May.
Magoon recommended that, while "there was proper notification by all legal standards" in this case, the board and commissioners consider forwarding legislation to the county delegation to the General Assembly that would require greater public notice in the future.
In Charles County, notice of a pending liquor license is required to be published for two weeks prior to its hearing, and also for 20 days in the applicant's storefront. Insufficient notice has been a common complaint among those opposed to the store.
"I think that the folks who are here tonight are probably most upset about the fact that they didn't know and they didn't have a chance [to testify]," Kelly said. "I mean, clearly they care, they're here."
Collins and Commissioner Bobby Rucci (D) said that last year, the delegation rejected legislation proposed by the liquor board that would have limited the number of available liquor licenses in the county.
"I think people need to be aware that the liquor board was actually looking at this issue, so it's not like this is something that they didn't address," Collins said.
"We sent it to the delegation, and the delegation turned us down. We wanted to change this last year," Rucci added.
Magoon noted that there are 19 remaining liquor licenses available in Waldorf alone. County spokeswoman Crystal Hunt said that 38 liquor store licenses already have been granted in Waldorf.
"We may have been able to solve this already and say there's enough liquor stores in Waldorf," he said. "We may have been able to do that, but it didn't get looked at. Let's throw it up again. Let's see if we can do something about it."
Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) told the audience that a public hearing held moments prior to the briefing, in which the commissioners heard only opposition to and thus rejected a proposal that would have permitted food trucks in the county, was an example of "the impact that testimony in opposition has on commissioners and committees."
"I realize that you did not have the opportunity because of not seeing the notification … but it is important to get involved," Robinson said. "You need to read the newspaper to read those boring notices that everyone pages over, because that's where the information is."
Robinson also asked whether the county should consider requesting an extension of the current 500-foot requirement to 1,500 or even 2,000 feet.
"I caution you only to be careful what you ask for," Magoon said, noting that Nick's of Clinton, "one of the most responsible purveyors of alcohol in our county, and perhaps even in our state," falls within 1,500 feet of Thomas Stone High School.
"We would obviously grandfather in anybody who's already in existence," Robinson said.
Barring an unforeseen and unlikely emergency session of the General Assembly, the most that can be done legislatively is sending a bill to summer study so that it's ready when lawmakers convene in January, Holtz said.
Liquor board Chairwoman Pamela Smith called the 500-foot requirement "middle of the road" compared to other counties. She said the board surveyed other jurisdictions and learned that St. Mary's County's requirement is 300 feet while "only two other counties that responded are 1,000 feet."
"So, we're not opening them up right next door," she said, to which several in the audience answered, "Yes, you are."
Smith said the board gave a "very stern warning" to Cheers' owners, but admitted that the law governing liquor boards needs some changes.
"We need to fix our rules and our regs, and with this finally coming to a head and there being an issue, now's the time to fix it," she said. "Unfortunately, we don't fix it until we find out it's broken."
Liquor board member William B. Young Jr. said that the regulations should be re-examined in order to avoid a similar situation in the future, should someone want to open a liquor store near the new St. Charles High School.
"As a community, we have to determine whether it is within our interests to have a proliferation of liquor stores within our community," Collins said. "It's one thing to argue whether or not the law allowed this to occur. Clearly, based on the testimony that's been put in place up to this point, the applicant did everything that they were supposed to do to get approval of a liquor license."
Collins pointed out that the store's owners will have to meet the same criteria if and when they come before the board to get their license renewed next year.
"I would like to think that once they get a license, they have to be just as good next year to get a renewal," Robinson said.
"But this isn't really about whether they're good or bad. This is about, it doesn't belong there and the people don't want it there" Kelly said to cheers and applause. "And I just wish we could go back and revisit the notice."
"The only thing we can do is fix it from here forward, and at renewal time, we welcome everyone to come out and be there to not want it renewed," Smith said. "That's the process we have in place right now, and until we fix it, I think we're legally tied and we are required to go by the rules that are set for us to enforce. We've never been told to alleviate or to certainly make up or own rules as we go."
Board Vice Chairman Burkey Boggs reiterated that the board would take into consideration any opposition at the renewal hearing next year.
Davis thanked the board members for following the letter of the law.
"We don't ask you to make up the rules, we just ask you to follow them, so thank you for not doing your jobs arbitrarily," she said.
Davis also thanked the audience members for attending the briefing, and said there's no reason that the county can't decide to "give better notice now" in addition to the legal requirement.
"I don't want you to leave here tonight thinking that there are sides. There are no sides," she said. "Everybody sitting here in front of me, including my colleagues here, we all want safe schools, safe neighborhoods, we want it all, and we're going to work together to make this better."
But Kelly countered, "if we can acknowledge that we could do better, then why is it that we can't go back now and say we didn't give enough notice?" again drawing applause.
"An answer to your question, can we go back? I think not," Holtz said. "Can you go forward, and do more than is required by the law, yes, absolutely."
"If it can be done, it can be undone," an audience member chimed in.
Holtz said that the county has photos of the notice placed in the store window and has "reason to believe" it was posted for the entire 20-day period as required.
"No, it wasn't," an audience member shot back.
"I feel very, very sad that we have to learn these lessons the hard way, but it sounds like that is the way this is going to play out," Kelly said. "Not being an attorney, it's hard to understand why we can't go back."
After the meeting, residents huddled with the commissioners and Holtz, discussing whether any options existed.
Bob Guiffre, president of the Hampshire homeowners association, said the community planned to erect a security fence to block Cheers from view, and also encouraged residents to boycott the store in an effort to drive it from the location or out of business altogether.
Kelly said Wednesday that she had requested a closed session for a legal briefing "because I want to be 100 percent sure that we met the proper legal requirements for public notice."
"The liquor board did its job. … But I'm elected to represent the citizens, and this decision, in my view, there's no question it's not consistent with the will of the community."

En español | We're the largest, richest, best-educated generation of Americans, the favored children of a strong, confident and prosperous country. Or, as other generations call us, spoiled brats. Born between 1946 and 1964, the 76 million boomers reaped all the benefits of the postwar period's extraordinary economic growth.
Stay in the Know on the Go: Get the New AARP ePubs iPad App!
We were dizzy with our aspirations. We'd be rock stars. We'd be spiritual avatars. We'd be social activists. We'd be billionaires. No, better yet, we'd be all those things at the same time. (Steve Jobs came close.)
Every time opportunity knocked, we let it in, even when it should have been locked out for decency's sake. And behold the boomers' remarkable experiments with prosperity — the dot-com bubble, the housing bubble, the enormous financial bubble that's still got the nation trying to get fiduciary gum out of its hair.
And now the boomers run the world. The youngest members of the generation that decided to be young forever are turning 50. That's the age of maximum privilege and power. We're giving everybody orders. The oldest boomers are enrolled in Medicare, collecting Social Security and receiving tax-free Roth IRA disbursements. Plus, American life expectancy has increased by almost 12 years since the baby boom was born, so it doesn't just seem like we'll never go away. From President Obama, Rand Paul and Jeff Bezos at one end of our age cohort to Hillary Clinton, Rush Limbaugh and Cher at the other, we cannot be escaped or avoided (or shushed).
But running the world means taking responsibility for it. The boomers have been good at taking things: Mom's car without permission, drugs, umbrage at the establishment, draft deferments, advantage of the sexual revolution, and credit for the civil rights and women's liberation movements that rightly belongs to prior generations. The one thing that can be left in plain sight without us putting our sticky mitts on it is responsibility. Ask our therapists. Or the parents we haven't visited at the extended-care facility.
The world is being run by irresponsible spoiled brats. And yet the world started to get better as soon as the boomers took over. That was in the late 1970s, when we were old enough for our deepest beliefs, our most cherished values and our unique vision of the future to have a profound and permanent effect on American life. To be precise, we took over on July 28, 1978, the day Animal House was released.
Things have been more fun since we elected Senator Blutarsky. Sometimes too much fun. The boomers can be scolded for promiscuous sex, profligate use of illegal intoxicants, and other behavior that didn't turn out to be healthy. But somebody had to do the research. Somebody had to be the guinea pig. And, running around in the sex-drugs-and-rock 'n' roll wheel, we had a good time while it lasted.

As Joplin copes with the aftermath of the most lethal single tornado on record, the ASPCA's emergency response team continues to work tirelessly to rescue and shelter affected animals. More than 350 animals have been brought—most by their families—to the temporary shelter we're operating in conjunction with the Joplin Humane Society.
Things are starting to look brighter for these animals. By Thursday morning, more than 60 had been reunited with their families! On Wednesday, even as the threat of more severe weather loomed, 20 pets went home in just one hour. Says ASPCA Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response Tim Rickey, a Joplin native: "It was a wonderful day."
Our work is not yet done, and none of it would be possible without generous donations from our members, supply providers like PetSmart Charities and other in-state groups, and countless compassionate volunteers. On Wednesday alone, 150 volunteers arrived at our shelter to help, and we put them to work right away. And shelters around Missouri continue to accept adoptable animals from Joplin.
Says Rickey, "The outpouring of support from the community, the state and elsewhere has been exceptional."
Please help us support the animal victims of recent disasters in the South and Midwest. Text PLEDGE to 25383 to donate $10 today!

Today, all eyes will be watching to see whether Wisconsin voters will keep labor-bashing right-winger Scott Walker (R) in the governor's mansion. But win or lose, the real story is the 15 months of people power leading up to this day. The real lesson lies in more than a year of progressive organizing, petitioning, canvassing and campaigning for the cause. The real result is a progressive movement that is deeper and broader than before.
When Walker's opponents needed 540,208 signatures to trigger the recall election, Wisconsin's progressives responded by collecting more than a million. They filled 152,000 pages — weighty evidence of the power of a group of people determined to right a wrong.
And the effects have rippled outward. The sight of 70,000 protesters — teachers, firefighters, nurses, students, parents with children – occupying the Wisconsin State Capitol in February 2011 ignited activists around the country. Just as the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt motivated people around the world, including in Wisconsin, the occupation of the Madison statehouse helped inspire the occupation of Wall Street a few months later.
Let me state the obvious: I want the recall to succeed. A victory for Democrat Tom Barrett would not only create an opportunity to roll back Walker's worst anti-labor, budget-slashing measures, but would also send a clear message to those who are masquerading as deficit hawks around the country: We've had it with starve-the-beast politics. We're done with leaders whose idea of austerity is to cut education, health care and vital public services in order to give more tax breaks to their millionaire friends.
Walker's GOP legislature, like so many Republican statehouses around the country, has pursued a "divide and conquer" strategy, as Walker himself admitted to a billionaire donor. His legislative efforts, backed up by the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity, and the extremist, corporate-funded group American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), are meant to cripple labor unions and disenfranchise poor and minority voters.
Make no mistake — Walker knows his recall has the potential to be a resounding progressive victory. That's why he's raised $31 million to stay in office, compared with $4 million raised by his opponent. Two-thirds of Walker's money has come from outside Wisconsin, and his donor list reads like a list of Who's Who of America's Billionaires. Sheldon Adelson — Gingrich's Daddy Warbucks — and Amway founder Richard DeVos have each given Walker $250,000. And remember the "Swift boat" ads against Kerry? Houston home builder Bob Perry, who backed that smear campaign, wrote Walker checks totaling $500,000. As the recall fight comes to an end, this record amount of money from ultraconservative outsiders has kept Walker alive.
Money in politics is nothing new. In 1816, Thomas Jefferson lamented that corporations that "challenge our government to a trial of strength" were undermining the will of the people. But the battle lines have radically shifted. Ever since the Citizens United ruling welcomed unrestricted corporate money into our elections, the interests of the 99 percent have been badly outmatched by anonymously sourced dollars.
Indeed, we are witnessing the first major battle between astronomical numbers of people and astronomical amounts of money.
As I write this, Walker leads in the polls, and if progressive turnout is merely ordinary, he will likely win. On the other hand, if we see the same groundswell today as on the days that led to this one, Walker can be defeated. Yet, big as this election is, it is only the first test of the progressive response to an electoral landscape overrun with money from corporations and wealthy individuals.
By attacking labor unions, flooding Wisconsin with outside cash and trying to cleanse the electorate of people who don't look, earn or think like him, Walker has taken aim at more than a single campaign cycle or a series of policies; his real targets are the pillars of American progressivism itself. With the Romney campaign gearing up, and super PACs taking to the national airwaves, we face an unprecedented, well-funded assault on our basic values.
But progressives aren't backing down. They're just getting started.
So when the results come in, reflect on the vast organizing effort that brought Wisconsin to this moment — and imagine where it still has the potential to go. Elections are over in a matter of hours, but movements are made of weeks, months and years. The Declaration of Sentiments was issued at Seneca Falls in 1848, yet women did not gain the right to vote until seven decades later. The Civil War ended with a Union victory in 1865, yet the Voting Rights Act was not passed until a century later. Auto workers held the historic Flint sit-down strike in 1936-37, yet the fight for a fair, unionized workforce persists 75 years later.
And in the last 15 months, Wisconsin's progressives have shown us that the battle against bankrolled austerity can be bravely waged by an army of dedicated people committed to protecting working families. They've reminded us that good organizing is our only chance to withstand the blitzkrieg of corporate funded advertising — and better yet, leave a lasting mark. Their movement, with thousands of new Wisconsin activists mobilized, energized and educated, can be permanent — and it can keep growing.

An emergency appeal filed late Tuesday argues that reinstating the requirement to show a government-issued photo ID to vote in the Nov. 4 election "imposes a radical, last-minute change to procedures for conducting an election that is already underway."
On Tuesday, the Government Accountability Board announced that voters who had already cast absentee ballots for the general election must present valid government-issued identification for those ballots to be counted.

Manure is a potent fertilizer that does wonders for the crops that feed the cows that give the milk that makes Wisconsin America's Dairyland.
It's also making a mess of its waters.
While Green Bay holds a mere 1.4% of Lake Michigan's water, it receives one-third of the lake's nutrient load — due largely to the farm fields that drip phosphorus-rich manure into the streams, creeks and rivers that flow toward the bay.
Samples taken in many of those waterways over the past decade show average summer phosphorus levels twice as high —...

Trying to make sense of all the different court rulings in Wisconsin on their partisan Photo ID voting laws? We'll try to unpack that for you.
The short version: Two different state trial courts found the GOP's Photo ID restriction on voting to be a violation of the state constitution's right to vote. A federal trial court (aka U.S. District Court) similarly found the law to be a violation of various parts of the U.S. Constitution.

Wisconsin's cuts to state aid for K-12 education since the start of the recession is the 7th largest in the country, according to a new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
The report from the center, which calls itself "fiscally conservative but socially liberal," calculates that Wisconsin cut its state aid to K-12 public schools by 15.3% since 2008, a reduction that out-paced the cuts made by all but six other states during that time.

"These days, a lot of it is health-related. ALEC, a strong believer in state's rights, federalism, and the free-market, is fighting federal health care reform tooth and nail. (It also opposes various state efforts to crack down on the health insurance industry and expand coverage.) Since 2005, 38 states have passed legislation crafted by its Health and Human Services Task Force, according to the ALEC guide. Wisconsin promises to soon be one of the star performers. 'There have been boilerplate bills that have similar characteristics to what has been passed here in Wisconsin,' Fitzgerald says. In December, he says, he and 20 to 30 other Wisconsin GOP lawmakers attended ALEC's national meeting Washington D.C. (emphasis added), where a key topic of study and conversation was federal health care reform. The 'State Legislators' Guide to Repealing Obamacare' was handed out at this meeting, and its model legislation discussed. 'A good example of that is a bill Joe Leibham is working on right now,' Fitzgerald says. "Sen. Joe Leibham, R-Sheboygan, and Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, introduced the bill Fitzgerald is talking about on Thursday. The 'Health Care Freedom Amendment' would change the Wisconsin constitution to prohibit the government from forcing anyone to participate in any public or private health care or insurance program.

KRAS Gene, Known Mutation, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of variable expressivity characterized by short stature, congenital heart defects, characteristic facial dysmorphology, unusual chest shape, developmental delay of varying degree, cryptorchidism, and coagulation defects, among other features. Heart defects include pulmonary valve stenosis (20%-50%), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (20%-30%), atrial septal defects (6%-10%), ventricular septal defects (approximately 5%), and patent ductus arteriosus (approximately 3%). Facial features, which tend to change with age, may include hypertelorism, downward slanting eyes, epicanthal folds, and low-set and posteriorly rotated ears. Mild mental retardation is seen in up to one-third of adults.
The incidence of NS is estimated to be between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 2,500, although subtle expression in adulthood may cause this number to be underestimated. There is no apparent prevalence in any particular ethnic group. Several syndromes have overlapping features with NS, including cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC), Costello, Williams, Aarskog, and multiple lentigines (LEOPARD: lentigines, electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormal genitalia, retardation of growth, and deafness) syndromes.
NS is genetically heterogeneous, with 4 genes currently associated with the majority of cases: PTPN11, RAF1, SOS1, and KRAS. Heterozygous mutations in NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, SHOC2, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, and CBL have also been associated with a smaller percentage of NS and related phenotypes. All of these genes are involved in a common signal transduction pathway, the Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which is important for cell growth, differentiation, senescence, and death. Molecular genetic testing identifies PTPN11 mutations in 50% of individuals. Mutations in RAF1 are identified in approximately 3% to 17%, SOS1 in approximately 10%, and KRAS in <5% of affected individuals. NS can be sporadic and due to new mutations; however, an affected parent can be recognized in up to 30% to 75% of families.
The KRAS gene has been shown to have a total of 6 exons that are alternatively spliced into K-Ras isoforms A and B. Exon 1 is noncoding. Exons 2, 3, and 4 are invariant coding exons, whereas exon 5 undergoes alternative splicing. K-Ras isoform B results from exon 5 skipping. In K-Ras isoform A mRNA, exon 6 encodes the 3-prime untranslated region, whereas in K-Ras isoform B mRNA, exon 6 encodes the C-terminal region. Reported mutations in KRAS associated with NS are missense mutations. It has been proposed that all reported mutations lead to stabilization of K-Ras in the active conformation, most likely by different gain of function mechanisms.
Mutations in KRAS have been identified in individuals with other disorders that overlap phenotypically with NS, including CFC syndrome, a condition involving congenital heart defects, cutaneous abnormalities, Noonan-like facial features, and severe psychomotor developmental delay. KRAS mutations have also been associated with Costello syndrome (CS), which is characterized by coarse facies, short stature, distinctive hand posture and appearance, severe feeding difficulty, failure to thrive, cardiac anomalies, and developmental disability.
Genetic testing for KRAS mutations can allow for the confirmation of a suspected genetic disease. Confirmation of NS or other associated phenotypes allows for proper treatment and management of the disease and preconception, prenatal, and family counseling.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Genetic testing for individuals at risk for a known KRAS mutation
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
All detected alterations will be evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommendations.(1) Variants will be classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
This test is for individuals who are at risk for a KRAS mutation that has been previously identified in the family. If the familial mutation is not known, the familial proband should be screened for a KRAS mutation using KRASB / KRAS, Full Gene Sequence, Blood.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
