Bowen–Conradi syndrome (BCS[1] or BWCNS[2]) is a disease in humans that can affect children.[2] The disease is due to an autosomal recessive abnormality of the EMG1 gene, which plays a role in small ribosomal subunit (SSU) assembly.[1][3] The preponderance of diagnoses has been in North American Hutterite children, but BWCNS can affect other population groups.[2][4]
