Okur-Chung Neurodevelopmental Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder first identified in 2016. OCNDS is caused by a mutation in the CSNK2A1 gene which is located on Chromosome 20. The gene CSNK2A1 creates a protein called CK2 which plays a crucial role in development. A mutation in this gene disrupts typical development.
