Sanjad-Sakati-Richardson-Kirk syndrome

Meer over het boek

The book presents the first documented case of Sanjad-Sakati-Richardson-Kirk syndrome in Iraq, marking it as the 104th case globally. This syndrome, characterized by severe growth and mental retardation alongside chronic hypocalcemia due to hypoparathyroidism, was initially reported in 1988 and further described in 1990. The authors stress the importance of early diagnosis to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with this rare disorder, which has primarily affected children of Middle Eastern descent.
