WHAT IS MCT8
Allan – Herndon – Dudley – Syndrome , which takes its name from William Allan, Florence C. Dudley, and C.

Allan – Herndon – Dudley Syndrome ( AHDS ) is a form of mental retardation, with neuromuscular involvement characterized by hypotonia, muscular hypoplasia and intellectual deficit.
