Orpha Number: 93972

Definition
An X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) syndrome belonging to the group of conditions characterised by the association of intellectual deficit with hypotonic facies (Mental retardation, X-linked-hypotonic facies).

Epidemiology
Prevalence is unknown but since its initial description in 1980 several unrelated families with affected males have been reported.

Clinical description
The syndrome is characterised by facial dysmorphism (a flat and broad nasal bridge, prominent forehead, upslanting palpebral fissures, hypertelorism and various ear anomalies), growth failure, sensorineural deafness, microgenitalism and severe intellectual deficit.

Etiology
The syndrome is caused by mutations in the ATRX gene (Xq13.3).

Genetic counseling
Inheritance is X-linked recessive.

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.

If you need medical advice, you can look for doctors or other healthcare professionals who have experience with this disease. You may find these specialists through advocacy organizations, clinical trials, or articles published in medical journals. You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments.

If you can’t find a specialist in your local area, try contacting national or international specialists. They may be able to refer you to someone they know through conferences or research efforts. Some specialists may be willing to consult with you or your local doctors over the phone or by email if you can't travel to them for care.

You can find more tips in our guide, How to Find a Disease Specialist. We also encourage you to explore the rest of this page to find resources that can help you find specialists.
