Primrose syndrome
Definition:
Primrose syndrome (PRIMS) is a rare genetic disorder, characterized by dysmorphic facial features, macrocephaly, and intellectual disability, as well as large body size, height and weight, and calcified pinnae. Recently, mutations in ZBTB20, coding for a zing finger protein, have been identified in PRIMS patients.
