Preferred Label : Intellectual disability-hypotonic facies syndrome, X-linked, 1;
Symbol : MRXHF1;
CISMeF acronym : JMS; MRXHF1; SFMS; SFM1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Smith-fineman-myers syndrome 1; Carpenter-waziri syndrome; SFMS; SFM1; Holmes-gang syndrome; Chudley-lowry syndrome; Xlmr-hypotonic facies syndrome; Mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome, X-linked, 1;
Description : The term 'X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome' comprises several
syndromes previously reported separately. These include Juberg-Marsidi, Carpenter-Waziri,
Holmes-Gang, and Smith-Fineman-Myers syndromes as well as 1 family with X-linked mental
retardation with spastic paraplegia. All these syndromes were found to be caused by
mutation in the XH2 gene and are characterized primarily by severe mental retardation,
dysmorphic facies, and a highly skewed X-inactivation pattern in carrier women (Abidi
et al., 2005). Other more variable features include hypogonadism, deafness, renal
anomalies, and mild skeletal defects. X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation
syndrome (ATR-X; 301040) is an allelic disorder with a similar phenotype with the
addition of alpha-thalassemia and Hb H inclusion bodies in erythrocytes.;
Inheritance : X-linked recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the helicase-2 gene (XH2, 300032.0011);
