What is Postnatal microcephaly-infantile hypotonia-spastic diplegia-dysarthria-intellectual disability syndr?

Postnatal microcephaly-infantile hypotonia-spastic diplegia-dysarthria-intellectual disability syndrome (PMID-IHSD-DID) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a small head size (microcephaly) at birth, low muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy, spasticity (stiffness) of the legs (diplegia), difficulty speaking (dysarthria), and intellectual disability. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein TBC1D24.
