Intellectual disability, X-linked 2(XLID2)

MedGen UID:
162922
Concept ID:
C0796207
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Synonyms: MRX2; XLID2
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010322
OMIM®: 300428

Definition

Nonsyndromic mental retardation with a large head, relatively short stature, highly arched palate, square facies, short hands and feet, and macroorchidism. [from MCA/MR]

Clinical features

From HPO
Macroorchidism
MedGen UID:
224727
Concept ID:
C1263023
Finding
The presence of abnormally large testes.
Short stature
MedGen UID:
87607
Concept ID:
C0349588
Finding
A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).
Poor fine motor coordination
MedGen UID:
356863
Concept ID:
C1867864
Finding
An abnormality of the ability (skills) to perform a precise movement of small muscles with the intent to perform a specific act. Fine motor skills are required to mediate movements of the wrists, hands, fingers, feet, and toes.
Intellectual disability
MedGen UID:
811461
Concept ID:
C3714756
Mental or Behavioral Dysfunction
Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70.
Relative macrocephaly
MedGen UID:
338607
Concept ID:
C1849075
Congenital Abnormality
A relatively mild degree of macrocephaly in which the head circumference is not above two standard deviations from the mean, but appears dysproportionately large when other factors such as body stature are taken into account.
High palate
MedGen UID:
66814
Concept ID:
C0240635
Congenital Abnormality
Height of the palate more than 2 SD above the mean (objective) or palatal height at the level of the first permanent molar more than twice the height of the teeth (subjective).
Square face
MedGen UID:
371253
Concept ID:
C1832127
Finding
Facial contours, as viewed from the front, show a broad upper face/cranium and lower face/mandible, creating a square appearance.
