CASE SERIES: KOHLSCHUTTER-TONZ SYNDROME
Objectives: To present a case series of Kohlschutter-Tonz syndrome (KTS) and its range of clinical manifestations.
Methods: Summarized in attached image
Results: Presented are four cases of pediatric patients with KTS who were treated in our department. The patients shared the same genetic background of KTS, attributed to the RODGI gene. All arrived from the same Druze village, Yanuh-Jat, located in Northern Israel. Each patient presented with varying degrees of severity of the disease. All patients were treated[YP1] under general anesthesia in our department due lack of cooperation.
Conclusions: KTS is a rare disease but has a relatively higher prevalence in the geographic area serviced by our medical institute. Early dental intervention along with proper oral hygiene education is of high importance[YP1] . Genetic consultation is highly recommended.
[YP1]This is always true....Is there some added need for this in this specific population in particular?
