Abstract

Griscelle syndrome type 2 is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to mutation in RAB 27 gene. Silvery grey hair and light coloured skin with variable immunodeficiency is the characteristic clinical features. We report a girl child with Griscelle syndrome type 2 with typical clinical features and review of literature.
