Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome

Definition:

Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome (TBRS) is a recently identified form of overgrowth syndrome, characterized by intellectual disabilities and facial feature. Mutations in the DNA methyltransferase gene DNMT3A cause TBRS. DNA methylation plays a critical role in both embryonic development and tumorigenesis.
