Identification of novel mutations in the RSK2 gene (RPS6KA3) in patients with Coffin-Lowry syndrome.

abstract：:A syndrome of spastic paresis, mental retardation and glaucoma has been described only once previously (Heijbel & Jagell 1981). We describe three brothers, products of a marriage between first cousins once-removed, who appear to have the same syndrome. The brothers are not dysmorphic but they have slowly progressive s...
