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 Syndrome Other forms of Seckel syndrome include SCKL2 (606744), caused by mutation
in the RBBP8 gene (604124) on chromosome 18q11; SCKL3 (608664), on chromosome 14q;
SCKL4 (613676), caused by mutation in the CENPJ gene (609279) on chromosome 13q12;
SCKL5 (613823), caused by mutation in the CEP152 gene (613529) on chromosome 15q21;
SCKL6 (614728), caused by mutation in the CEP63 gene (614724) on chromosome 3q22;
and SCKL7 (614851), caused by mutation in the NIN gene (608684) on chromosome 14q22.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ATR serine/threonine kinase gene (ATR, 601215.0001);
