Real Cases - some stories of PKS children
In the following you can find a selection of links to the true stories of some children affected by the Pallister-Killian Syndrome. The parents of those children agreed to share their experiences with other families in similar situation allowing them to find some help or hope in them.The stories can be lengthy or complicated but they are real and "you never know which details will ring a bell with another parent".
I'd appreciate collecting others experience to compensate for the lack of scientific papers describing the possible evolution of our children.
