Nestekideskini

Nestekideskini is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the brain and nervous system. It is a member of the larger group of disorders known as the 'frontonasal duplication disorders', which are caused by anomalies in the development of the frontonasal prominences during embryonic development.

Symptoms of nestekideskini begin to manifest in infancy and can include altered facial features such as a flat face, wide nose, and visible nasal passages. Infants with the disorder may also experience impaired motor skills, developmental delays, and structural brain anomalies such as holoprosencephaly. In some cases, affected individuals may experience seizures and intellectual disability.

The genetic basis of nestekideskini was first described in 2010, and researchers have identified several specific genetic mutations that contribute to the development of the disorder. These mutations occur in genes that regulate the formation of the face, brain, and nervous system during embryonic development.

Diagnosis of nestekideskini typically involves a combination of physical examination, genetic testing, and imaging studies such as MRI. A definitive diagnosis can only be made by testing for the specific genetic mutations that cause the disorder. There is currently no known treatment or cure for nestekideskini, and management is primarily focused on addressing related symptoms and complications. Research into the genetic and biological mechanisms underlying the disorder continues, and advances in the field may eventually lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Few studies have reported on the incidence and prevalence of nestekideskini, and more research is needed to fully understand the scope of the disorder.
