A rare genetic neuro-endocrino-cutaneous disorder with characteristics of highly variable degrees of alopecia, moderate to severe intellectual disability, progressive, late-onset motor deterioration and combined anterior pituitary hormone deficiency, manifesting with central hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, delayed or absent puberty, growth hormone deficiency (resulting in short stature), progressive central adrenal insufficiency and a hypoplastic anterior pituitary gland. Additional features include hypodontia, flexural reticulate hyperpigmentation, microcephaly and kyphoscoliosis. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the RBM28 gene on chromosome 7q32.
