Abstract excerpt
The Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is a rare X-linked semidominant syndrome characterized by severe psychomotor retardation, facial dysmorphism, digit abnormalities and progressive skeletal deformations. CLS is caused by mutations in a gene located in Xp22.2, RPS6KA3. This gene encodes for a growth factor-regulated serine/threonine protein kinase, RSK2 (ribosomal S6 kinase 2), acting in the Ras-mitogen-activated...
