Scorpius Syndrome
Scorpius Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SLC39A13 gene. This condition primarily affects the development of bones and tissues, leading to various physical abnormalities. Individuals with Scorpius Syndrome may experience features such as skeletal malformations, skin issues, and problems with the immune system.
The syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both parents must carry the mutated gene for a child to be affected. Diagnosis typically involves genetic testing, and while there is no cure, management focuses on treating the symptoms and improving the quality of life for those affected.
