Hollander Syndrome

Hollander Syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal development of the brain, particularly the cerebellum, which affects coordination and balance. Individuals often experience intellectual challenges, distinctive facial features, and sometimes neurological symptoms like seizures. It is caused by mutations affecting specific genes involved in brain development. Because of its rarity, research is limited, and management typically focuses on addressing symptoms and supporting development through therapies. Hollander Syndrome highlights the importance of genetics in brain growth and how variations can lead to unique developmental outcomes.
