Abstract

Using exome analysis, we identified a novel overgrowth syndrome arising from a mutation in PDGFRB, which plays a critical role in growth and differentiation. This entity is characterized by somatic overgrowth, distinctive facial features, hyperelastic and fragile skin, white matter lesions, and neurologic deterioration.
