Rabson–Mendenhall syndrome (RMS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by
extreme insulin resistance and certain characteristic phenotypic features. The primary defect
lies in the insulin receptor and involves biallelic mutations that lead to a loss of function
through various postulated defects. We present a 9‐year‐old female patient with RMS
complicated by multiple cerebral infarcts, in whom genetic analysis revealed a novel insulin
receptor mutation.
