Kylin syndrome (e.kylin) is a rare genetic disease that manifests itself in the form of impaired development of the limbs and skeleton. It was first described in 2003 and named after Norwegian physician Eva Killin.
Symptoms of Keelin syndrome usually appear in early childhood and may include:
– Short and crooked limbs
– Insufficient development of bones and joints
– Deformities of the spine and chest
– Poor posture and gait
– Poor coordination of movements
Treatment for Keelin syndrome includes medical and orthopedic care, as well as rehabilitation. In some cases, surgery may be required to correct the deformities.
The causes of Killin syndrome are unknown, but it is thought to be associated with genetic mutations in genes responsible for bone and muscle development. Diagnosis of the disease is based on clinical symptoms and genetic analysis.
Keelin syndrome is a serious disease that can lead to disability and impaired quality of life. However, thanks to modern methods of treatment and rehabilitation, many patients with this syndrome can lead a full life.
