X small rings syndrome

What it is

X small rings is a rare chromosome X structural anomaly, with highly variable phenotype, principally characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, short stature, craniofacial dysmorphism (incl. microcephaly, facial asymmetry, hypertelorism, long palpebral fissures, epicanthus, low-set or malrotated ears, broad nose with a flat nasal bridge, anteverted nares, long philtrum, thin upper lip, high arched palate, micrognathia) and skeletal anomalies (e.g. cubitus valgus, talipes equinovarus). Patients may also present heart malformations (e.g. ventricular septal defects, mitral valve stenosis), sacral dimple, soft tissue syndactyly, pigmented nevi, and seizures.

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.
