X-linked intellectual disability dey refer to medical disorders wey be associated plus X-linked recessive inheritance wey result in intellectual disability.

As plus chaw X-linked disorders, males be more heavily affected dan females.[1] Females plus one affected X chromosome den one normal X chromosome tend to get milder symptoms.

Unlike chaw oda types of intellectual disability, de genetics of dese conditions relatively be well understood.[2][3] Na dem estimate der be ~200 genes involved insyd dis syndrome; of dese ~na 100 be identified.[4] Chaw of dese genes be found on de short 'p' arm of de chromosome, den duplications at Xp11.2 be associated plus de syndromic form of de condition.[5][6]

X-linked intellectual disability dey account for ~16% of all cases of intellectual disability insyd males.[7]

Syndromes

[edit | edit source]

Several X-linked syndromes dey include intellectual disability as part of de presentation. Dese include:

  • Coffin–Lowry syndrome
  • DDX3X syndrome
  • MASA syndrome
  • MECP2 duplication syndrome
  • Mental retardation den microcephaly plus pontine den cerebellar hypoplasia
  • X-linked alpha thalassemia mental retardation syndrome
