Lawson's disease, also known as Lawson's syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of symptoms including congenital heart defects, mental retardation, and skeletal abnormalities. It is caused by mutations in the GATA4 gene, which plays a crucial role in heart development. The condition is named after Dr. Lawson Wilkins, who studied this syndrome and its effects. Due to its rarity, management typically involves a multidisciplinary approach focusing on symptom relief and supportive care.
