Additional Tunisian patients with Sanjad-Sakati syndrome: A review toward a consensus on diagnostic criteria.

CONCLUSIONS: SSS is an autosomal recessive disorder found in the Middle Eastern population with an estimated incidence of 1 per 40,000-100,000 live births in Saudi Arabia. Reviewing the literature on both its clinical and biochemical characteristics, we suggest for the first time, based on defined major and minor SSS criteria, a clinical scoring system for the diagnosis of SSS. On the one hand, an established scoring system will provide appropriate indications for molecular testing and, on the other hand, reviewed data on SSS will help delineate the phenotype and draw a distinction between differential diagnoses.
