hypoparathyroidism, retarded growth, mental
retardation and a characteristic physiognomy .

7.  The presenting complaint in most of the
patients was hypocalcaemic with generalised
convulsions, usually detected in the first few
days or weeks of life.

 It is not uncommon in the Gulf area, especially
Saudi Arabia.

10.  autosomal recessive disorder.
 due to mutations in the tubulin-specific
chaperone E (TBCE) gene in chromosomal
area 1q42–q43.
 The gene TBCE encodes a protein that
participates in beta-tubulin folding.
 Tubulin is needed for many essential life
processes, including cell division and proper
organelle positioning in the cell.

a TBCE mutation.
 Diagnosis is mainly clinical.

cause .
