X-linked intellectual disability-global development delay-facial dysmorphism-sacral caudal remnant syndrome

What it is

A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by global developmental delay, intellectual disability, growth retardation, hearing impairment, characteristic facial dysmorphology (including prominent supraorbital ridges, downslanting palpebral fissures, deep-set eyes, long face, sagging cheeks, anteverted nares, and pointed chin), generalized hypotonia, joint hypermobility, gluteal crease with sacral caudal remnant and sacral dimple, and variable neurological features. Various ophthalmic, cutaneous, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular anomalies have also been described.

Malformation syndrome

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

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.
