X-linked spasticity-intellectual disability-epilepsy syndrome

MedGen UID:
1376165
Concept ID:
C4510949
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: X-linked spasticity, intellectual disability, epilepsy syndrome
SNOMED CT: X-linked spasticity, intellectual disability, epilepsy syndrome (725163002)
Modes of inheritance:
X-linked recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
375779
Concept ID:
C1845977
Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for recessive traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked recessive disorders manifest in males (who have one copy of the X chromosome and are thus hemizygotes), but generally not in female heterozygotes who have one mutant and one normal allele.

Definition

This syndrome is characterised by myoclonic epilepsy with generalised spasticity and intellectual deficit. It has been described in six males from two generations of one family. Transmission appears to be X-linked recessive and the syndrome is caused by mutations in the aristaless-related homeobox gene (ARX, Xp22.13). [from SNOMEDCT_US]
