Non syndromic X-linked intellectual disabilities

Group of diseases characterized by intellectual disability of variable severity linked to a mutation in chromosome X.  These mutations affect generally only one or a few families. They affect only the boys and the women who carry the mutation are asymptomatic or slighty affected except for the MRX99 form that involves also the women.

-        MRX 53 [MIM 300 324]: Xq22.2-q26

-        MRX58 [MIM 300 210]: mutation of the TSPAN7 gene (Xp11.4)

-        MRX61 [MIM 300 978]: mutation of the RLIM gene (Xq13.2); Tonne-Kalscheuer syndrome, with a possible congenital diaphragmatic hernia (similar to Fryns syndrome)

-        MRX63 [MIM 300 387]: mutation of the ACLS4 gene (Xq23)

-        MRX72 [MIM 300 271]: mutation of the RAB39B gene (Xq28); intellectual disability sometimes associated with early Parkinson disease (Waisman syndrome)
