Summary
Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is a rare genetic disorder. This case highlights unique brain abnormalities, polymicrogyria with calcification, in a PKS patient, suggesting CCND2 gene dosage may impact neuronal development.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Neurology
- Developmental Biology
Background:
- Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is a rare genetic disorder.
- Characterized by mosaic tetrasomy of chromosome 12p.
- PKS presents with facial dysmorphism, developmental delay, hypotonia, and seizures.
