Smith-Kingsmore
Syndrome

What is SKS?

Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome (SKS) is a rare genetic condition caused by changes in the MTOR gene, which plays an important role in how cells grow and function. It can affect individuals in different ways, but is often associated with developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, seizures, and differences in brain development. Because SKS is so rare, many families face long journeys to diagnosis and limited access to information and resources. While there is currently no cure, ongoing research is helping to better understand the condition and explore potential treatments, offering hope for improved care and quality of life for those affected.
