Description : X-linked mental retardation-19 (MRX19) is a nonsyndromic form of mild to moderate
mental retardation. Carrier females may be mildly affected. Mutation in the RPS6KA3
gene also causes Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS; 303600), a mental retardation syndrome
with dysmorphic facial features and skeletal anomalies. Some patients with RPS6KA3
mutations have an intermediate phenotype with mental retardation and only mild anomalies
reminiscent of CLS. These individuals have mutations resulting in some residual protein
function, which likely explains the milder phenotype (summary by Field et al., 2006).;
Inheritance : X-linked dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90kD, polypeptide 3 gene (RPS6KA3,
300075.0010);
