Mulibrey nanism

Mulibrey nanism ("MUscle-LIver-BRain-EYe nanism"), also called Perheentupa syndrome and pericardial constriction with growth failure, is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder. It causes severe growth failure (dwarfism) along with abnormalities of the heart, muscle, liver, brain and eye. Mulibrey nanism has been associated with a recessive defect in the gene TRIM37. TRIM37 is responsible for various cellular functions including developmental patterning.
