GENATLAS PHENOTYPE
last update : 13/02/08
Symbol DUPXP
Location Xp21.2
Name chromosome Xp duplications
Other name(s) partial trisomy Xp
Corresponding gene NR0B1 , SAT1
Main clinical features
  • mental retardation and variable facial dysmorphic features and other clinical problems depending on the size and position of the duplication
  • NR0B1 duplication in 46,XY individuals leads to gonadal dysgenesis and a female phenotype
  • obesity and macrocephaly in dupXp11.3p21.1
  • SAT duplication leads to dermatological disorders (KFSD or Siemens-1 syndrome)
  • in females, skewed X-inactivation resulting in inactivation of the dup(X) may result in a normal or near-normal phenotype
  • functional disomy of proximal Xp allows delineation of a common phenotype comprising early hypotonia, cognitive impairment, hypertelorism, myopia, small hands and feet and abnormal external ears
  • Genetic determination chromosomal
    sex linked
