last update : 26-02-2016
Symbol MRX98
Location Xq13.3
Name mental retardation, X-linked 98
Corresponding gene NEXMIF
Main clinical features
  • mild to severe ID with severe language delay and repetitive behaviors falling in the range of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), facial dysmorphism with round face, strabismus, squint, short nose and prognathism, also cases with generalized seizures and microcephaly
  • no structural brain abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Genetic determination sex linked
    Function/system disorder mental retardation
    Type disease
    Remark(s)
  • complete loss of function might account for such a severe phenotype in these families with either disruption of KIAA2022 exon 1 or a c.2597dupA protein-truncating mutation (PMID: 23615299))
