Description : Alopecia-mental retardation syndrome-1 (APMR1) has been mapped to chromosome 3q26.3-q27.3.
Alopecia-mental retardation syndrome (APMR) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder
in which affected individuals show loss of hair on the scalp, absence of eyebrows,
eyelashes, and axillary and pubic hair, and mild to severe mental retardation (summary
by Wali et al., 2007). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Alopecia-Mental Retardation Syndrome
Additional loci for alopecia-mental retardation syndrome have been mapped to chromosome
3q26.2-q26.31 (APMR2; 610422) and chromosome 18q11.2-q12.2 (APMR3; 613930).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein gene (AHSG, 138680.0004);
