Pallister-Killian syndrome: the first reported case in Hong Kong.

Pallister-Killian syndrome was first described in 1977 by Pallister, et al. It is a multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome caused by mosaic tetrasomy of chromosome 12p.

Here we report the first case in Hong Kong.
