What it is

A rare X-linked syndromic intellectual disability characterized by developmental delay and intellectual disability, early hypotonia, constipation, feeding problems, imperforate anus, characteristic behavior (affable, eager to please), and dysmorphic craniofacial features (such as relative macrocephaly, prominent forehead with frontal hair upsweep, hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, and open mouth). Additional manifestations are partial agenesis of the corpus callosum, sensorineural hearing loss, joint laxity, cardiac anomalies, and abnormalities of the fingers and toes, among others.

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
