Seckel Syndrome 1; Sckl1

Description

Seckel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, dwarfism, microcephaly with mental retardation, and a characteristic 'bird-headed' facial appearance (Shanske et al., 1997). Genetic Heterogeneity of Seckel SyndromeOther forms of Seckel syndrome include SCKL2 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the RBBP8 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 18q11; SCKL4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the CENPJ gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 13q12; SCKL5 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the CEP152 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 15q21; SCKL6 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the CEP63 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 3q22; SCKL7 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the NIN gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 14q22; SCKL8 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the DNA2 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 10q21; SCKL9 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the TRAIP gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 3p21; and SCKL10 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the NSMCE2 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 8q24.The report of a Seckel syndrome locus on chromosome 14q, designated SCKL3, by Kilinc et al. (2003) was found to be in error; see HISTORY.
