Alternate names

Definition

Familial and de novo recurrent Xp11.22-p11.23 microduplication has been recently identified in males and females.

Epidemiology

To date, twelve patients have been described.

Cause

  • The microduplication was identified by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).
  • Most affected females show preferential activation of the duplicated X chromosome.
  • Duplications are mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) or Alu-mediated recombination.

Signs and symptoms

  • All patients show moderate to severe intellectual deficit and speech delay.
  • Seizures, early puberty and lower-extremity anomalies, including pes planus or cavus, 5th toe hypoplasia, and syndactyly, are common.
  • A peculiar electroencephalographic (EEG) pattern characterized by rolandic-like spikes and/or continuous spike wave during slow sleep (CSWS) exists in childhood.
