Kosaki overgrowth syndrome (KOGS) is a novel syndrome characterized by skeletal overgrowth. Moreover, various degrees of abnormalities of the connective tissue and central nervous system are also often present. It has been reported that gain-of-function mutations in PDGFRB cause this syndrome. PDGFRB encodes platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta, which plays a critical role in cell growth.
