This is a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of mental retardation caused by genes on the X chromosome. Clinical and laboratory data on 130 syndromes are presented in a concise and consistent manner. Each syndrome is defined and information is provided on somatic features, growth and development, neurological signs, cognitive performance, imaging and other laboratory findings, and when possible, the nature and localization of the responsible gene. Craniofacial and other somatic findings are extensively illustrated. A differential matrix accompanies each syndrome description to assist the reader in identifying other X-linked syndromes with overlapping features. As background, the X chromosome and the emergence of the concept of X-linked mental retardation are discussed. X-chromosome maps show the location and mapping limits of the responsible genes. The authors have extensive experience in the clinical and laboratory delineation of X-linked mental retardation. They have described new syndromes, regionally mapped disease loci on the X chromosome, and in several cases isolated the genes responsible for X-linked syndromes.

Atlas of X-Linked Intellectual Disability Syndromes, 3rd Edition is a comprehensive reference for clinicians, laboratory geneticists, and researchers working to diagnose and understand X-linked intellectual disability (XLID). This updated edition presents a concise yet thorough overview of all known XLID syndromes, incorporating the latest clinical findings and gene discoveries.Each syndrome entry includes hallmark somatic features, developmental and neurological characteristics, patterns of female expression, and the causative gene if known. A differential diagnosis matrix that follows each entry helps narrow diagnostic possibilities and guides targeted genetic testing. Appendices group syndromes by shared clinical features, offering a practical tool for comparison.New content in this edition addresses duplications within the X chromosome involving XLID genes, XLID-associated Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, skewed X-inactivation in female carriers, and genes that escape inactivation. The XLID Syndrome Atlas remains an essential tool for navigating the evolving genetics of intellectual disability.

The Atlas of X-Linked Intellectual Disability Syndromes is a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of the clinically distinctive disorders caused by genes on the X chromosome. Clinical and laboratory data on 150 syndromes are presented in a concise and consistent manner. Each syndrome is defined and information is provided on somatic features, growth and development, neurological signs, cognitive performance, imaging and other laboratory findings, and when possible, the nature and localization of the responsible gene. Craniofacial and other somatic findings are extensively illustrated. A differential matrix accompanies each syndrome description to assist the reader in identifying other X-linked syndromes with overlapping features. Individual syndrome entries are supplemented with nineteen appendices that identify syndromes with common features and provide the location or mapping limits and function of the responsible genes.The authors have extensive experience in the clinical and laboratory delineation of X-linked intellectual disability. They have described new syndromes, regionally mapped disease loci on the X chromosome, and identified the genes responsible for X-linked syndromes.
