| Description |
Lessel-Kubisch syndrome (LSKB) is a segmental progeroid syndrome characterized by short stature, pinched facial features, prematurely gray hair, scleroderma-like skin changes, a high-pitched voice, hypogonadism, small kidneys, and consequent kidney failure, followed by severe arterial hypertension. A homozygous germline mutation in MDM2 has been identified in a patient. MDM2 encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates the tumor suppressor p53, a master regulator of the cellular response to stress.
