X-linked intellectual disability, Siderius type
From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA
Alternate names[edit]
MRXSSD; Intellectual deficit X-linked Siderius type; Siderius Hamel syndrome
Definition[edit]
X-linked intellectual disability, Siderius type is characterised by mild to borderline intellectual deficit associated with cleft lip/palate. Preaxial polydactyly, large hands and cryptorchidism are sometimes present.
Epidemiology[edit]
The syndrome has been described in seven boys from two families.
Cause[edit]
- X-linked intellectual disability, Siderius type is caused by mutations in the PHF8 gene.
- This gene provides instructions for making a protein that is found in the nucleus of cells, particularly in brain cells before and just after birth.
Inheritance[edit]
- This condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.
Signs and symptoms[edit]
- This condition is characterized by mild to moderate intellectual disability that affects only males.
- Affected boys often have delayed development of motor skills such as walking, and their speech may be delayed.
- Individuals with X-linked intellectual disability, Siderius type frequently also have an opening in the lip (cleft lip) with an opening in the roof of the mouth (cleft palate).
- A cleft can occur on one or both sides of the upper lip.
- Some boys and men with this condition have distinctive facial features, including a long face, a sloping forehead, a broad nasal bridge, a prominent bone in the lower forehead (supraorbital ridge), and outside corners of the eyes that point upward (upslanting palpebral fissures).
- Affected individuals may also have low-set ears and large hands.
