Seckel syndrome

Seckel syndrome is a type of microcephalic primordial dwarfism that is characterized by a proportionate dwarfism of prenatal onset, a severe microcephaly, a typical dysmorphic face (bird-like), and mild to severe intellectual disability.

The growth deficiency in this syndrome is similar to what is seen in other types of primordial short stature with microcephaly, such as Majewski osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism, type II (MOPD2) and Seckel syndrome, which result from loss-of-function mutations in genes coding for centrosomal proteins.
