Neu-Laxova syndrome (NLS) is an autosomal recessive multiple malformation syndrome characterized by a recognizable pattern of severe malformations leading to prenatal or early postnatal lethality. It is characterized by ichthyosis, marked intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), microcephaly, short neck, central nervous system anomalies, limb deformities, hypoplastic lungs, edema, and abnormal facial features. NLS is genetically heterogeneous and can be caused by mutations in the genes encoding enzymes of the L-serine biosynthesis pathway.
