Definition
Xp22.3 microdeletion syndrome is a microdeletion syndrome resulting from a partial deletion of the chromosome X. Phenotype is highly variable (depending on length of deletion), but is mainly characterized by X linked ichthyosis, mild-moderate intellectual deficit, Kallmann syndrome, short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata and ocular albinism. Epilepsy, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, autism and difficulties with social communication can be associated.
